about the medical situation etc. and all the falklands british? why not toss a bit of red meat out there? now it's the headunes out there? now it's the headlines where the wonderful times have . patrick. thank you. times have. patrick. thank you. good from the gb newsroom. it's 3:03. three people have been taken to hospital after a suspected gas explosion . swansea suspected gas explosion. swansea with one person on accounted for . emergency services are at the scene after being called to the morriston this morning. police two properties have been extensively damaged and neighbouring buildings have also been affected. they've set a cordon and are asking the public to avoid the area. local council leader rob stewart told gb news teams are working to secure the site. here in the street here you can certainly smell the gas in terms of, you know, the of the explosion . it's also the explosion. it's also disturbed the electricity supply

in the area. this looks a localised incident and you know certainly the area of morriston is a modern area and there's no suggestion of any sort of infrastructural issues at the present time . tv presenter gary present time. tv presenter gary lineker has been reinstated to match of the day after reaching an agreement with the bbc . it's an agreement with the bbc. it's after he was taken off air over after he was taken off air over a tweet on the government's illegal migration bill. the bbc director general has apologised and said the corporate action is launching an independent review of its social media guidelines . of its social media guidelines. the board has welcomed the move , saying impartiality is cornerstone of the bbc . speaking cornerstone of the bbc. speaking to the bbc director general tim davie said he thinks he's done the right thing. i've always said we needed to take proportionate action. for some people, by the way, we've taken too severe action, david. others think we're being too lenient. one of the joys of this affair is never been easy. solution but asking gary to step back off air was, i think , a significant

was, i think, a significant thing. and now we look forward with agreement moving forward to resolve things and back to business as usual. former bbc executive presenter roger bolton questioned why the bbc chairman hasn't spoken out on the matter . rightly or wrongly, richard sharp because of his connections with boris johnson , because of with boris johnson, because of the fact that he's been investigated for that relationship. and once he revealed to parties and because it was so totally absent, but not to almost, it was it was so totally absent, but not to almost , it was totally not to almost, it was totally absent this weekend when the dg needed some help . he didn't step needed some help. he didn't step up. he didn't talk about impartiality. probably because he knew the second question. people like you would put in without. can we about without. can we talk about links to johnson , the chancellor to boris johnson, the chancellor of the bank of england have secured the sale of collapsed silicon bank uk , hsbc for silicon valley bank uk, hsbc for a nominal sum of £1. the uk branch was put into insolvency last after the california based parent company had its assets by us regulators on friday. jeremy

are unhappy. the corporation's director—general, davie . bbc director—general, tim davie. bbc sport is based in salford and employees are angry that davie is not in the northwest today. so lineker will present match of the day this saturday on how on earth he's managed to keep the job. my attendance at the weekend is beyond me and i think weekend is beyond me and i think we all agree a lucky boy we can all agree a lucky boy indeed. but after missing the show over the weekend anyway, his controversial about his controversial tweets about suella her suella braverman where he her language used in led to language to that used in led to a row bbc impartiality. we a row over bbc impartiality. we all story by now. it's been all know story by now. it's been doing the rounds right and centre. many of lineker's colleagues refuse to appear on the shows bbc the football shows on bbc television and radio. that was his solidarity with presenter and will now a review of and the bbc will now a review of its social media policy. tim davie says lineker will abide by the editorial guidelines until thatis the editorial guidelines until that is complete and the beeb's director of sport, barbara slater, is holding meetings with staff today. lineker, for what it's worth, tweeted about it's worth, has tweeted about it. go now, though, it. i'm going to go now, though, to our national reporter ali costello for the latest live from new broadcasting house. ali, great ali, thank you very much. great

to top the show. to have you at the top the show. now, what the latest ? it now, what is the latest? it appears be quite an appears to be quite an embarrassing for the beeb. embarrassing day for the beeb. a lot going on. yes, patrick, a lot going on. yes, patrick, a lot going on in that building behind me. but a deal has been made between bbc and gary lineker will be returning to our screens this weekend to present match of the day. and it must said it was a pretty bruising weekend for the bbc . there was a weekend for the bbc. there was a snap poll out over the weekend by yougov 53% of people said that the bbc handled this row correctly . they said that gary correctly. they said that gary lineker should never have been taken off air. perhaps that's one of the reasons why they moved so quickly in to resolve this issue . director general tim this issue. director general tim davie gave statement this morning and in it it said that gary is a valued part of the bbc and he how much the bbc means to gary . well they look forward to gary. well they look forward to gary. well they look forward to gary presenting the coverage of match of the day this weekend and tim davie also went on

announce a new review into the bbc's media guidelines and there will be a particular focus on freelancers who are working of news and current affairs that does directly impact on gary lineker . and he also recognised lineker. and he also recognised that in the current social media policy , there are grey areas policy, there are grey areas that do need addressing . tim that do need addressing. tim davie did say that in the meantime, whilst the independent review goes on gary lineker has agreed to stick to the current social media guidance , it must social media guidance, it must be said. gary lineker confirmed this, yet and after it was announced that had been made between the bbc and gary lineker, he took to twitter and wrote a thread on his personal twitter page . i'm that with you twitter page. i'm that with you now. he says after a surreal few days , i'm delighted that we have days, i'm delighted that we have navigated our way through this. and he wants to thank his colleagues at bbc sport , their colleagues at bbc sport, their show of solidarity . he says he's show of solidarity. he says he's very proud to work for the bbc, that he describes the best and

fairest world. costa in the world. but he goes on to say a final thought, which is this however difficult last few days have been, it simply compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war, to seek refuge in a land far away . it's refuge in a land far away. it's heartwarming to have seen the empathy that from so empathy, that plight from so many you we remain a country, many of you we remain a country, a predominant tolerant, welcoming and generous people. thank you so is very interesting. just moments after news of that deal was brokered, gary lineker did take the opportunity to double down on his comments that he made last tuesday. those comments that did snowball really into row about freedom of expression and also impartiality at the bbc. but he very stands firm by those comments. but it does seem , comments. but it does seem, though, it was a respectful, muted agreement between the bbc and tim. gary lineker , a team and tim. gary lineker, a team great tim davie as being very understanding this very difficult period . so he will be

difficult period. so he will be back on air this weekend patrick and it looks as though for the meantime he is going to continue to keep tweeting. yeah. look, alison, very much. now, i understand there might be another slight issue , the bbc as another slight issue, the bbc as well, relating to fiona bruce, is that correct? could you just bnng is that correct? could you just bring us up to date on that, please ? yes. this is a story please? yes. this is a story that has broken in just the past few hours and it concerns an episode of time that went out last thursday. the presenter question time, fiona bruce, has faced backlash after stepping in when a guest on her show described stanley johnson , the described stanley johnson, the father of boris johnson, as a wife beater. and they were talking boris johnson's resignation honours list and the potential that stanley johnson could be on it in order to get a night's word. and fiona bruce, interject . ted, when her guest interject. ted, when her guest described as wife beater and she gave some context she said that speaking to a journalist from power she said that johnson had broken her nose. this is what

sally johnson's ex—wife had said and that she ended up in hospital. a result, fiona bruce said stanley johnson has not commented publicly on that. friends of his have said it did happen, but that it was a one off and those comments the comments saying that it was just one off were criticised by many women's charity including women's aid who called it unnecessary. they said that even if abuse is an isolated event which it very rarely it should never be minimised. well fiona bruce has now stepped down as of the charity refuge , which is the the charity refuge, which is the domestic violence charity . and domestic violence charity. and she's given a statement which says that she was just legally, contextually raising a question about stanley . she said they about stanley. she said they were not an expression of her own opinion and they were not minimising domestic abuse. she says she would never do that. she says she's faced a social media storm. she's been miscarriage tries and she has received personal abuse. and she says very hard decision. but she

has decided she just remain an active supporter on the sidelines for now. but patrick, again, it just highlight susan that the complexities around bbc presenters and wording and their language not on air but off air as well on her own social media accounts. and there is going to be a focus now and independent review about how going to keep impartiality at the bbc. but once again , this case highlights once again, this case highlights just that, just difficult and just that, just difficult and just how challenging going to be. yes. ali, thank you very, very much. ali costello, our national reporter outside broadcasting house, bringing up to two stories. the to date with two stories. the first of which something we first of which is something we are to now. and are returning to now. and it's the gary lennon a the gary lennon casserole. a sporting perspective this sporting perspective on this story o'neil , who is story by tom o'neil, who is a football journalist with the times . you very much, tom. great times. you very much, tom. great to you on show. right. to have you on the show. right. so it would appear anyway that lineker has had some kind of full frontal apology. be full frontal apology. we'll be there in solidarity, of course, with the other people who decided to pull out over the weekend. what's your take on what's we are

what's happened and where we are now ? well, think it's now? well, i think it's obviously gone on longer than perhaps people would have expected in the beginning. i think obviously think the bbc has obviously taken of criticism. gary taken a lot of criticism. gary lineker has definitely come out of it seemingly more popular with most of the weight of pubuc with most of the weight of public opinion . with most of the weight of public opinion. him, it seems. with most of the weight of public opinion. him, it seems . i public opinion. him, it seems. i think all parties will now be very relieved to move on really and put this behind them and of course that will be this. this inquiry into trying to find out sort of a better solution going forward for . the bbc around forward for. the bbc around their social media guidelines. i think terms of of the think in terms of match of the day terms bbc sport. william day terms of bbc sport. william bell is really just now to move . do you think this just proves that lineker is just too that gary lineker is just too big to cancel ? that gary lineker is just too big to cancel? i don't big to cancel cancel? i don't think that's necessarily the case.i think that's necessarily the case. i think basically , i think case. i think basically, i think people have considered the principles here and it's obviously quite complicated in terms of the intricacies of impartiality, in terms of who can say what, whether it's a journalist who's based on bbc news or a bbc school when they're free and also full time

are various factors to consider . and i think, you know, in the current with social media impartiality is a very difficult thing to strike. i mean, you know, we all know now the opinions are more extreme than ever that to get attention to limelight, you have to have opinions are seemingly you know at one end of the spectrum or the other and sometimes finding the other and sometimes finding the sort of the middle ground of impartiality in that context can be difficult to not what the bbc are wrestling with. and perhaps now they are going to have to update that guidelines along with current climate . look, with the current climate. look, tom, thank you very for tom, thank you very much for that perspective. someone like that perspective. someone like that a football that who is a football journalist with the times, a couple of bits on this, of course, is that gary lineker does appear to have his does appear to have kept his job, the apology. i job, but how did the apology. i do suspect the do strongly suspect that the output an output that i delivered an alternative of the day on saturday but essentially saturday night, but essentially wanted a long way to show wanted to go a long way to show that gary lineker is maybe worth every there we every single penny. but there we go. have an absolutely go. we did have an absolutely cracking it,

cracking laughter, found it, enjoyed the enjoyed it thoroughly. also, the times. did times. sunday times did a writeup on sunday, writeup about me on sunday, which show did say that which did show did say that i was the equivalent of three staffordshire nightclub bouncers rolled one which rolled into one which i thought was brilliant. were was brilliant. there were glimpses you glimpses of fraser case. you know on about as well. know what i'm on about as well. our alternate said match of the day to i day coverage at 410 to 11. i mean, actually, for the most part, fantastically well part, it was fantastically well received. we were received. actually, we were laughing as everyone, including ourselves. of little ourselves. i do have a of little clips it to play for you clips of it to play for you right this will leave right now, and this will leave you and johnson you on all night. and johnson will replacing the real will not be replacing the real match of the day on the bbc. it's a shocker, an outrage. it is alternative match the day is the alternative match the day live news. me, mark live on gb news. with me, mark dayton patrick, go dayton and patrick. patrick, go easy chris sullivan easy on these. chris sullivan missed penalty slotted it into missed a penalty slotted it into a different post kind of more misses than how many of the eight this season that large i mean look at this erling mean look at this guy erling haaland i mean just like a particularly he particularly muscular horse he it viking on the it looks like a viking on the front yeah that get of front page yeah that we get of the boggles isn't it. the the mind boggles isn't it. the mind boggles anyway. okay mind boggles anyway. right. okay so of commons is to so the house of commons is to hold the second reading debate on the government's new illegal

migration later today. just last week , home secretary saw the week, home secretary saw the problem announced would week, home secretary saw the problefor announced would week, home secretary saw the problefor the announced would week, home secretary saw the problefor the removaled would week, home secretary saw the problefor the removal of would week, home secretary saw the problefor the removal of channel d allow for the removal of channel migrants from the uk. so the proposals those attempting cross the water would be banned from future re—entry and blocked from applying for british citizenship. said citizenship. government said bill would push the boundaries of international law but that it was to solve the crisis. was needed to solve the crisis. i am now by gb news is i am joined now by gb news is political reporter catherine forster catherine you much forster catherine you very much shortly go live shortly we're hoping to go live to commons get of to the commons and get some of this can expect so it's this can we expect so it's having the second reading of this bill this afternoon and there's going be a vote this evening which the government will certainly win . but this will certainly win. but this issue, as we know, is incredibly complex. people feel very strongly about it. and obviously labour are opposing it. keir starmer said, yes, we need to stop the trade, the traffickers , but this is not the right way . some conservatives think doesn't go far enough. people like iain duncan , people that

like iain duncan, people that would like tackle the echr head on. other conservatives , people on. other conservatives, people like caroline nokes, who used to be an immigration minister, have said , i can't vote for this said, i can't vote for this because they're worried about the fact that children potentially would be detained , potentially would be detained, deported and criminalised effectively . now, that won't effectively. now, that won't apply to single children arriving, but it would apply to families potentially . so but families potentially. so but what's clear is that? rishi sunakis what's clear is that? rishi sunak is very keen to rush this through as fast as possible because having made that pledge, one of his five priorities stopping the boats given that the numbers are just going and up and up, they really need to turn this around and have something serious to show by the next election. yeah well, they do indeed. and i can't help but wonder, as well, catherine, whether or not it's actually in labour's not just labour's interest. it's not just a perspective from a moral perspective from a political it's political perspective, it's in everyone's political interest. unless a tory make unless you are a tory to make sure happen because sure this doesn't happen because rishi made such a big rishi sunak has made such a big deal of stop the boats. if at the next election labour go

the next election labour can go well, is not stop the well, you see is not stop the boats, might a weird boats, there might be a weird pubuc boats, there might be a weird public psychology experiment that they go. that takes place where they go. well, know this guy well, i know that this guy trying stop the boats but trying to stop the boats but didn't know that this didn't happen. i know that this guy seem to guy doesn't particularly seem to want to stop the boats. so because didn't what because i didn't get what i wanted sunak, i'll vote for wanted from sunak, i'll vote for starmer anyway. makes starmer anyway. that makes sense. on now. sense. and labour on now. although they've been traditionally soft traditionally seems to be soft on they are very on immigration, they are very keen this terrible keen to say this is terrible trade. to this, but this trade. we have to this, but this isn't the way and of course rishi sunak having said we will stop the boats. the problem for the government is this is all happening on their watch. they've had 13 years in power and okay back a few years, people used to cross the channel illegally in lorries smuggled in that way. but this so visible because we're seeing day because we're seeing it day after day, these people coming across the channel small across the channel in small boats and the numbers have rocketed and there's some projections that potentially 80,000 people might cross illegally year if something isn't done urgently. now the other side of it apart from the

legislation, which is going to trouble in the lords and obviously with the courts, is the £480 million that we've now pledged to spend with france. yes and the thinking that. okay we've already given them a couple of hundred million over the last few years. but the french, they're stopping about half the boats from taking off if they can get it up to 75, then at that point they that's a tipping point. and that would break the smugglers business model. yes, indeed. all right. so just give us a quick run through of when we're expecting potentially to hear all this take place in the house of commons so that the debate will be in the next hour or be starting in the next hour or so. i imagine it will go on for quite some time and then there'll be a vote on it tonight. the government will win that right and then it will that vote right and then it will go stage and they go to committee stage and they will over. but be will mallet over. but it'll be interesting see how much it interesting to see how much it changes between now and when it finally emerges. side finally emerges. the other side , the house of lords. yeah, fascinating. look, catherine, thank very, much. thank you very, very much. catherine political catherine forster, our political guru, reporter ,

guru, political reporter, whizzing through the place on the illegal bill. now, like i said, yes, we all are going to be going live at some point anyway at house of commons. anyway at the house of commons. yes. there's news of a few yes. there's a few news of a few extra million apparently yes. there's a few news of a few extra spent lion apparently yes. there's a few news of a few extra spent on] apparently yes. there's a few news of a few extra spent on defence.itly yes. there's a few news of a few extra spent on defence. that's being spent on defence. that's so we'll bring you up to date on that as yes. so just to clarify, there today an extra there is news today of an extra £5 billion being spent on

gb views. okay. welcome back everybody . okay. welcome back everybody. now the british shopping basket has morphed over the years with some of you trading packs of cigarettes and alcopops for frozen berries and e—bikes. it's certainly not the case around at my house, that's according my house, but that's according to from the office. to new figures from the office. national statistics the national statistics and the un collects prices collects thousands of prices across the goods to calculate the rising cost of living on a monthly inflation figures. and here to break it down for us, amongst other things, actually, is economics is our business and economics editor halligan with on the editor liam halligan with on the

. money soap are people shopping baskets first shall we learn what's in them so the office for national statistics it follows about 750 different goods and services as the prices of those that's what feed into the inflation number. the next inflation number. the next inflation numbers coming next wednesday day. but just to give you a view is a little bit of insight . you a view is a little bit of insight. every year you a view is a little bit of insight . every year they change insight. every year they change of the goods. so when i was a lad was all spam and birds beef burgers. when you were a lad, it was chicken nuggets. and of course, because things go faster was chicken nuggets. and of c particularlyrse things go faster was chicken nuggets. and of c particularly consumer go faster was chicken nuggets. and of c particularly consumer goods:er , particularly consumer goods things, we services that we use. and i just thought of bringing a little bit of insight. it's quite interesting. look at quite interesting. you look at the goods have changed. the how the goods have changed. put of a graphic put some of them on a graphic here you. now, what they've here for you. now, what they've taken out this year, alco , was taken out this year, alco, was you were probably weaned on patrick and cooking apples because not people don't make studer for like they used i like about shoot for the about a shoot out for the digital compact cameras yes you don't need that now because you

got a phone. right. hasn't been in it for this long. and then vending soft drinks vending machines, soft drinks because aren't many because there aren't as many vending as they vending machines around as they used we're not used to be because we're not using much cash, though, that using as much cash, though, that is changing. maybe they'll come back in when those kind of vending just vending you use where you just put cards in and sound put your cards in and sound effect, they're they're some effect, they're now they're some of they're some of the 16 of the they're some of the 16 because they've been taken away . and then i'll give you some examples of the goods examples of some of the goods that been put in bin that have been put in the bin added so we've got a bikes right ? frozen berries not the end of them but keep me regular. yeah. then you got sound balls . you then you got sound balls. you know, the things that you use or lash up your television . you lash up your television. you can, you know , bluetooth, your can, you know, bluetooth, your phones, them things like and then home security cameras. they've also added in patrick green beans and red wine . those green beans and red wine. those rumours aren't true that isn't just my personal consumption . just my personal consumption. that's legit. but this is sort of living, economic, social as isn't it? we consume different and each year the onus you know

knockit and each year the onus you know knock it sometimes gb news it is one of the best statistical bodies in the world. many countries follow what the onus doing. it invented a lot of these economic measurement concepts and so some come in every year and some goods out. this is not about manipulating the numbers. this is not about trying to pretend that inflation is less than it is. there are other things that they do that in view, this just about in my view, this just about changing the basket of goods that the average consumer uses. and it's not just goods services as well. well, when it comes to things cooking apples or things like cooking apples or alcopops, must be longer alcopops, there must be longer track record of what those things cost over a longer period of time. i would imagine that e—bikes, i mean, obviously run any bite. don't know. i said any bite. i don't know. i said obviously my parents obviously although my parents maybe rodney but maybe because i don't rodney but but think certainly but i do think that certainly opening cooking opening around is almost cooking up or something. so how can they accurately inflation accurately measure inflation based that might based on something that might fluctuate massively since his conception are conception because they are the thing e—bikes is obviously thing about e—bikes is obviously that they've been around for very long but. suddenly they're

all all right. just my all there. all right. just my mum say suddenly are mum would say suddenly they are now. that average person now. not that average person uses e—bike, but it's not uses an e—bike, but it's not unusual to use an e—bike. you if you holiday these days you you go on holiday these days you just hire an e—bike just as likely to hire an e—bike in some results you are to in some results as you are to hire a regular pushbike. and the same things with soundbars and also and dvds they've taken also cds and dvds they've taken cds and dvds unless they're cds or because they do still sell cds and dvds that are in the top ten or top 20 in terms of popularity . so those kind of popularity. so those kind of back catalogue cds and dvds that people would buy to build their collections , no one's doing that collections, no one's doing that anymore. only a few kind of, you know, specialist. so they've taken them out. it's interesting. and yeah , this interesting. and yeah, this happens every single year. this is a normal thing and i thought particularly interesting were the ones that i've highlighted least alcopops going out . i see least alcopops going out. i see this in my family, you know , this in my family, you know, kids were drinking alcopops a lot these days. but, you know, kids i know the same age now, they're not they're drinking different things. i've seen

spots on. yeah, 100. and i think we've just got some quietly for so going to talk a bit so we're going to talk a bit more on actually. more about later on actually. but we've we've done but yes, we've we've we've done something banking something with a banking obviously. this is really, obviously. yeah. this is really, really important. has to do really important. it has to do happened the weekend and happened over the weekend and if that hadn't happened that hadn't have happened patrick wall patrick we'd be wall to wall about this situation. so there's about this situation. so there's a in the us called silicon valley bank is a bank used by a lot of the tech companies and it's got uk offshoot here, silicon valley bank, uk, the us part of the bank went bust . so part of the bank went bust. so what the treasury , jeremy hunt what the treasury, jeremy hunt the bank of england over the weekend they got together an hsbc which is europe's biggest bank, another british bank bought the uk , uk subsidiary of bought the uk, uk subsidiary of silicon bank. now that means that the tech companies in the uk with money in that bank, they can just carry on as normal. they just got a different bank, but all their banking systems work. they can pay their employees of it. at employees and all rest of it. at that perch chase by hsbc knock on a head. had that bank been

rendered , you would have had rendered, you would have had then a lot of fear about the health of other banks. you could have had people queuing up outside banks as we had in 2008 with no no northern rock . the with no no northern rock. the whole banking system is just a pyramid. and if there's a sense that banks are starting to go insolvent, then that is really, really and, you know, fair really bad. and, you know, fair play really bad. and, you know, fair play treasury bank of play to the treasury bank of england. kick them england. again, i kick them in the shins to time. the shins from time to time. they did a good job weekend they did a good job the weekend by getting that deal together. so that we only have to so that means we only have to mention it every now and then. on newsroom and gives you on gb newsroom and gives you time talk about gary lineker time to talk about gary lineker on of the day and yes, but on match of the day and yes, but worryingly, since us markets worryingly, since the us markets opened the price of some opened the share price of some other banks has absolutely plummeted , because there are plummeted, because there are fears that the issues which affected the silicon valley bank may be affecting some other banks too. so look , for now, it banks too. so look, for now, it looks as if it's a tool to a bullet that's been dodged. but it may be that there are other concerns in the next few days that will then dominate the budget on on the 15th of march,

gb news. okay, welcome back. now argentina has been accused of placing the falklands an economic stranglehold after it pred economic stranglehold after it ripped up a key cooperation agreement and demanded fresh talks on island's talks on the island's sovereignty. it comes as ireland is mark 10th anniversary of is mark the 10th anniversary of a referendum vote to remain british home security at its white has more across the they're marking a decade since they're marking a decade since they voted by . a staggering they voted by. a staggering 99.8% to remain british. although overseen by

international journal observers, the results of the referendum have never been recognised by the argentine ten in government . seven years ago. well is iris in london effective ? lee agreed in london effective? lee agreed to disagree over. the island's sovereignty and signed up to a pact aimed at improving economic environment and social relations . but this week that ended as the argentineans ripped up the and demanded fresh talks over the future of the falklands. we're always disappointed with reaction from argentina , but reaction from argentina, but we're not at all surprised that something that we we've come to live with and we understood them very very clearly when the economy when the political situation in argentina gets tough, then we are the sort of whipping boys from their point of view. the argentinean economy is in meltdown. critics the government in buenos aires

accuse it of reignite the row over falklands sovereignty to distract from its domestic troubles . on a practical level, troubles. on a practical level, the any withdrawal from the co—operate agreement will hurt the islands it impacted the falklands because the we can't share fisheries data with argentina because of the migration . the fish stock in the migration. the fish stock in the ocean . we've lost a flight to ocean. we've lost a flight to sao paulo, which is our second link to south america and also the agreement benefit of argentina because it helped identify the war dead from the war. so i don't really think anyone is comes out better for this agreement coming to an end . with more than a thousand british military personnel, typhoon fighters and a royal presence. the falkland is far better defended than before the war in 82. no one here believes argentina has the slightest interest or indeed capability to

threaten the islands militarily . but for the time being, at least , it . but for the time being, at least, it seems determined to ramp up the diplomatic and economic pressure despite the expressed of this island community. mark white, gb news. well, there we go. i'm delighted to say that might want managed to say that might want managed to get back to us here from the falkland islands incredibly. he joins me in the studio right now. mark fantastic journey back, now, look, back, i imagine, but now, look, seriously, should we be concerned posturing from concerned about posturing from the is this all the argentineans or is this all just air? well, i don't just hot air? well, i don't anybody seriously considers that argentina will be and any time soon planning to launch another escapade to the falkland islands along las malvinas as they these islands , they're just not in islands, they're just not in a fit state to do militarily . even fit state to do militarily. even if they were minded to do that, this is a pattern that we get with argentina every time they

go in the economic cycle where effectively their economy tanks they're doing in the polls . the they're doing in the polls. the falkland islands is an issue resonates well with their and there's a bit of a distraction and yeah it is but i don't quite understand how it still does because the last time they really tried it, they got sent home packing, didn't they? yes. and mean, in terms of the this and i mean, in terms of the this sort of way in which the islands are defended now, much more robust defence in the falklands than it was in 82 when there were really just a few dozen marines who were based guarding government house. but now of course we got to mount pleasant military . a thousand military military. a thousand military personnel. our squadron typhoon fighters, royal navy presence. so there was anything like that, god forbid they would sure be able to answer that. fantastic. mark, thank you very much. mark, why there? i haven't got to bnng why there? i haven't got to bring you up to date with the

falkland islands and the fact that they are very still british and hopefully continue be so. rishi sunak housing insisted, though, that the armed though, that the uk's armed forces has funding they need forces has the funding they need forces has the funding they need for a more world. as for a more volatile world. as he's promised the military an extra billion pounds in funding . over two years now defence secretary ben wallace is said to be delighted, despite the amount being only around half of what reportedly demanded. i suppose that's how negotiations work. there say, a major there wasn't, say, a major defence deal could be on the cards rishi sunak cards now. rishi sunak is currently meeting president currently meeting with president joe and the australian prime minister anthony albanese , and minister anthony albanese, and thatis minister anthony albanese, and that is in relation to the orcas deal that is in relation to the orcas deal, which is of huge significance globally actually. joining me now is the defence editor of the telegraph and fanfare everywhere on gb news. called content. thank you very much. great to have you on show. let's deal with first things first. defence spending right here prepare for us here at home to prepare for us more volatile world is fine enough. where's he going to go ? enough. where's he going to go? well i think the military is grateful for any extra money from the government, but

frankly, this is nothing more than a stepping blaster. 3 billion of that. 5 billion will go on supporting submarine building program, which , like so building program, which, like so many other programs , has fallen many other programs, has fallen well behind. and they've been they've been embarrassed into doing this because, as you said, they've just about signed this deal to build a new fleet of nuclear powered submarines. the australian so we can't even build our submarines. and how are we to build the australian submarines? so that's big question. and the rest of money is just going to replenish the weapons stocks that have been depleted through our support of ukraine. so yeah, i think i think privately. ben wallace is going to be disappointed . you going to be disappointed. you know, he was he was looking for 11 billion. and what this money doesn't do is it doesn't address the problems we have in the armed forces, not least with our armed forces, not least with our a very general over the weekend confirmed that, you know, if the

british army had been fighting in ukraine in this conflict control we'd run out of men and equipment by now which is a pretty sorry state of affairs for a country that aspires to be of the leading military powers in nato in europe . yeah, indeed. in nato in europe. yeah, indeed. neal conan, i'm just going to ask you sorry this, but can i ask you sorry this, but can i ask you sorry this, but can i ask you to sit there for a quick we're going to go live now, i believe to the commons what james cleverly talking as i understand it anyway about defence. we have seen that we get competition from countries defence. we have seen that we get

you're saying that is not enough . and so maybe could do with a little bit more. i hope we can bnng little bit more. i hope we can bring con coughlin back in. yes. so that we will bring you more detail on what james probably had say there. yes, so had to say there. but yes, so basically billion. how much basically 5 billion. how much of this just going mopping up this just going to be mopping up what already essentially this just going to be mopping up what to already essentially this just going to be mopping up what to ukraine dy essentially this just going to be mopping up what to ukraine in essentially this just going to be mopping up what to ukraine in ordertially this just going to be mopping up what to ukraine in order to lly given to ukraine in order to have itself have ukraine defend itself against russians ? well, against the russians? well, nearly half is the answer. right. but as i saying right. but as i was saying earlier, if this money does not address the structural problems, all the armed forces have, the navy doesn't have enough warships. the raaf doesn't have enough fighters. you just referred to the squadron that's down in the falklands . but we down in the falklands. but we are very short of war planes. so we had 200 plus when the tories came power in 2010. we've got that number now and the threats increased. so these are the sort of issues we've got to look and there's a lot of speculation in there's a lot of speculation in the build up to this announcement that the government is going to reverse its decision to cut the army to its lowest size since the napoleonic wars .

size since the napoleonic wars. i mean, how ludicrous is this? where in the middle of the west , a security crisis europe is facing, the second world war and we are causing strength of our army. we are cutting the number of tanks, artillery , etc. i mean of tanks, artillery, etc. i mean , this is just madness. so i and i despite what rishi sunak act is doing in diego today with the orchestra, this is all about submarines with. submarines out very useful. they're mainly an intelligence gathering asset , intelligence gathering asset, apart from being able to fire missiles, but when it comes to hard fighting , you know, we are hard fighting, you know, we are desperately short and i don't think the prime minister is really this issue seriously . and really this issue seriously. and yeah, and the actual orchestra mean initially i think it cool a few of our allies by surprise including the french didn't see i know rishi sunak was over that over there at the weekend and sunak's on tour isn't it. i mean , in france and now he's , it was in france and now he's in san diego. but yeah, it

in san diego. but but yeah, it did catch the french by surprise, didn't send well essentially for who's essentially for anyone who's just us really old has just joining us really old has been on moon with been living on the moon with their in the air. what their fingers in the air. what is orchestra orchestrated their fingers in the air. what is why:hestra orchestrated their fingers in the air. what is why iszstra orchestrated their fingers in the air. what is why is it ra orchestrated their fingers in the air. what is why is it important? ted their fingers in the air. what is why is it important? well, and why is it important? well, it is a very important deal. and bofis it is a very important deal. and boris johnson , a lot of credit boris johnson, a lot of credit for getting this over the line. it's a deal . for getting this over the line. it's a deal. the us, britain and australia to provide the australians with new fleet of nuclear powered submarines , nuclear powered submarines, which will allow them to contain the threat. russia china poses in the pacific region . that's in the pacific region. that's fundamentally what it's about the french thought that they had to deal with the australians to build the submarines, but the french were offering diesel powered submarines which were not considered fit for the challenges . the 2030s, when they challenges. the 2030s, when they come into service . so britain come into service. so britain with help of the americans gazumped the french. the french were very, very upset and the entente cordiale went out the window for a few . but we're back

window for a few. but we're back on track. and i think what will see actually will be very interesting thing is that ortiz is going to expand i think you'll see because these are three members of the five eyes security alliance and i think you will see certainly join the soon and there's a lot of speculation japan could be in because japan has just announced a massive increase in military budget. the kind of increase we should be authorising to deal with china, we need to do with masses more close to . but you masses more close to. but you know , we are living in know, we are living in a dangerous time. we need properly armed forces. okay calm. thank you very much. wonderful insight that flynn. that is the defence editor of the telegraph now and something completely so we've been covering an image has emerged of convicted pop gary glitter browsing a smartphone app glitter browsing a smartphone app perhaps more alarmingly, footage has been obtained . the footage has been obtained. the sun of the pop asking about access to the dark web. now it's

reportedly sparked a furious reaction from his victims and has raised many questions about decision to release gary glitter after he'd served only of his 16 year sentence for historical sexual abuse of three girls. catherine leslie is a senior associate in abuse team at hugh james solicitors. sorry and she joins me look, you joins me now. look, thank you very great to have you on the show. was alarmed by show. i mean, i was alarmed by this and i think a of people will surprised. a would will be surprised. a guy would go have released. but go this have been released. but we that at the time we covered that at the time b that he has access to a smartphone and c, that he can apparently to scour the apparently use that to scour the dark yeah, absolutely. dark web. yeah, absolutely. i think this frankly think that this is frankly terrifying not just for the pubuc terrifying not just for the public and the risks that he poses to the public and to children, but also horrifying for the victims that he's perpetrated abuse upon. in my view, he should immediately recalled to prison . i mean, recalled to prison. i mean, look, we obviously are not privy to the exact conditions gary glass's release, but one would

imagine, kathleen, that convicted sex offenders certainly of the ilk of gary glitter should probably be banned from accessing the internet and. certainly the dark web would, you know , that was web would, you know, that was something they should do . i something they should do. i mean, i would think that that would be pretty obvious. i know that certainly mobile phones provided to offenders they're released and i think that that's fairly reasonable but it doesn't mean that he needs to have a smartphone there's no smartphone fact there's no reason couldn't have reason that he couldn't have some of throwaway some simple kind of throwaway pay some simple kind of throwaway pay or brick , so to pay as you go or brick, so to speak, as it is often called. and he absolutely should not have a smartphone. and frankly , have a smartphone. and frankly, they should be restricting and monitoring as i hope they're doing any type of access that he has the internet whatsoever. has to the internet whatsoever. yeah, i've two further yeah, i've got two further questions on this. questions for you on this. i will . i think maybe the most will ask. i think maybe the most emotive which is about emotive first, which is about victims. okay. and when victims images of gary goes being released and on a phone and

having some jovial conversation about accessing the dark web mean i think it's quite a straightforward idea to what kind of material he might want to look what otherwise why wouldn't you just use the internet right so how does it make abuse victims feel? because i you looks as though that i think you looks as though that just completely ignored in all of doesn't yeah, of this doesn't it. yeah, absolutely. think that absolutely. i think that that really of what really been the focus of what we're talking here. i mean, first he was released first of all, he was released only halfway through his sentence. and i wonder what kind of sends to not of message that sends to not only the victims, in only the victims, as in situation, in cases, in situation, but in all cases, in terms how seriously the terms of how seriously the criminal takes criminal justice system takes their complaint, criminal justice system takes their complaint , the abuse. and their complaint, the abuse. and one the other points that one of the other points that i would make is that being sexually abused as child is sexually abused as a child is really lifelong sentence, and really a lifelong sentence, and that doesn't appear to be a sentence that gary glitter is suffering . no, no, it doesn't. suffering. no, no, it doesn't. it's all just concepts. 0 question finally. it's all just concepts. q question finally. look, i know that you deal in this particular area of law a lot and in the abuse team in it does open up question which was being asked when gary , as i said, was

when gary, as i said, was released early and it's asked every time people say like colin pitchfork example were allowed out, is you think that out, which is you think that child sex offenders can actually in any way be rehabilitated or we always asking for trouble by allowing them out basically . i allowing them out basically. i think it's a really complicated question and it certainly depends on level of offender. i think the most serious and prolific offenders are . the oh prolific offenders are. the oh no okay unfortunately lost kathleen that we go we were coming to the end of that interview anyway kathleen hammersley who a senior hammersley who is a senior associate at the abuse team at huge solicitors no, i the huge solicitors no, i saw the article the weekend, which article over the weekend, which was gary glitter to be looking for things on the web, etc. i think it will a lot of people that really who possibly think that really who possibly think that they should have been released anyway on the realistically what is he looking at on the believe we at on the web? i believe we might to go is kathleen might be able to go is kathleen ashley. is i? yes, ashley. kathleen is i? yes, sorry about that. thank you very much. were answering much. you were answering question as to or not

air was, i think , a significant air was, i think, a significant thing. and now we look forward with this agreement moving forward to, resolve things and get back to business as usual. well, former bbc and presenter roger bolton questioned why the bbc chairman hasn't spoken out on the matter . rightly or on the matter. rightly or wrongly, richard , because of his wrongly, richard, because of his connections with boris johnson , connections with boris johnson, because of the fact that he's been investigated for that relationship. and once you revealed about it, and because it totally was not to almost it was totally absent, this weekend when the dg needed some help he didn't step up he didn't talk about impartiality , probably about impartiality, probably because he knew the second question. people like you would put can we talk about your put was, can we talk about your links johnson? well, in links to boris johnson? well, in other news today, the prime minister has pledged £5 billion over two years to the armed forces rishi sunak met his australian counterpart anthony albanese in san at a ahead of a

strike that is why it's important that we engage meaningful and constructive talks with them. we stand ready to engage with the junior doctors on that in exactly the same way we with other health unions and i use the junior doctors to come and have those discussions as the of the health unions have been doing so we can pause the strikes and discuss those issues and the weather warning britain, which is set to be hit by further wintry blasts with 51 flood alerts in across the uk . the met office has the uk. the met office has issued a yellow for strong winds across parts england, wales with gusts of up to 65 miles an hour forecast and travel disruption expected in scotland. yellow warning for snow and ice are in place until tomorrow morning as temperatures plunge to minus eighteen over the weekend . a eighteen over the weekend. a glass leaking charles and other members of the royal family have attended a service celebrate facing commonwealth day at westminster abbey in london. the

is in salford and is based in salford and employees are angry that davie is not north west is not at the north west facility today and the beeb's director of sport barbara slater , is holding meetings with staff probably as we speak. and one of the people is attending the meeting with slater has told gb news that the atmosphere is tense. so we'll bring you the latest that now lineker will present match day this present match of the day this saturday missing the show saturday after missing the show over weekend. his over the weekend. his controversial about suella braverman can pad her braverman where he can pad her language to use in germany. let's say we ran over bbc and many of lineker's colleagues to appear on football shows , on bbc appear on football shows, on bbc television and. in fact, they actually replaced football focus with an episode of bargain and the repair shop funfair was there and that on saturday night there and that on saturday night the very much streamlined version , much the day actually version, much the day actually half a million more viewers than the original version. so there we go. but the bbc will now a review of its social media policy. and davie says lineker will the editorial will abide the editorial guidelines until that is complete. let's down to one

national reporter, ali, who is live from broadcasting house and will bring us the latest ali, take it away . yes afternoon to take it away. yes afternoon to you, patrick and gary lineker is off the bench . he will be back off the bench. he will be back presenting match of the day this upcoming weekend. the bbc of what? very fast to get this deal brokered the two parties and he is going to be back on air in a statement, director general tim davie said it really sent an apology to staff, to presenters and to audience says for this difficult period in time and he also announced bbc is going to launch an independent review into its social media guidelines and there is going to be a focus particular on freelancers who don't work in news and current affairs. of course that does refer to gary lineker himself . refer to gary lineker himself. tim davie also recognise there were grey areas in social media policy that do need addressing so he could see changes in the rules coming up in the next days

and weeks. tim davie did say that gary has agreed abide by the current social media guidelines . the current social media guidelines. this independent review is taking place, but as statement was given by tim, gary lineker will on his personal twitter account just moments after that deal was announced. i want to share a little bit of those tweets with you now. he thanked his colleagues at bbc sport for their support, their solidarity , said he's proud to solidarity, said he's proud to work for a fair broker, but then he shares his final thoughts. this is in his tweet. however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn't compare to having to flee your home from persecution or to seek persecution or war, to seek refuge in a land far away . it's refuge in a land far away. it's heartwarming to see the empathy towards their plight from so many you we remain a country predominant tolerant welcoming and generous people. thank so it is very interesting that just in those moments after that deal made the news , gary lineker did made the news, gary lineker did take the opportunity to double

down on his comments he made last tuesday. those comments snowballed into a real really over freedom of expression bbc impartially . still, it does seem impartially. still, it does seem quite clear that he stands firm by those comments, but did say that he wanted to thank tim davie for his under standing dunng davie for his under standing during this difficult period. it does seem as though the two have reached a respectable . but yes, reached a respectable. but yes, gary lineker will be back on our screens on saturday and it seems at least for now, patrick he's going to continue tweeting what's likes. yes, ali, thank you very much, ali costello. there are national reports to bnng there are national reports to bring you the very latest on that to delve very that just going to delve very quickly inbox this quickly into the inbox on, this gary lineker i'm sick and gary lineker stuff. i'm sick and tired and weary of this now, says stephen. yes, fair enough. janet says, though, that she thinks though you definitely thinks as though you definitely broke guidelines. broke impartiality guidelines. and i did say earlier on because loads of you have been. mm i'm going to cancel one tv licence and i whether or not any and i wonder whether or not any of you actually do well of you actually do it. well apparently do, because tina apparently you do, because tina

has to say, news. has got, so to say, good news. patrick, i have cancel my tv licence this morning. to gary lineker comments. lineker and his comments. germany. has then emailed me germany. she has then emailed me in some pictures of a dogs, which is always great. not sure what the relevance is there, but you just keep it coming and keep it. commentator. anyway, joining me now, former newspaper editor and media consultant neil wallace. neil. thank you very much . great have you on the much. great to have you on the show. this a masterclass in show. is this a masterclass in how handle a situation in how not to handle a situation in the bbc? because the world from the bbc? because i understand. gary lineker i do understand. gary lineker supposedly kind supposedly broke some kind of impartiality guidelines now for the bbc , ended up apologising to the bbc, ended up apologising to him would having back him it would. having him back and he's untouchable whatever he wants. can i. it is indeed if i was i used to actually give lectures how not to handle pr and i think i would have been included this as a perfect example how not to do the right thing and be seem to get it wrong. it is an situation the bbc have handled catastrophically . they handled

catastrophically. they handled it. i thought sensibly at the beginning when they said well, look, this is so serious, can't just continue as normal. but then they've been running backwards as as they can ever since . and they now have since. and they now have complete chaos. i would suggest , within their sports department, within almost anybody . how can you rein gary anybody. how can you rein gary lineker in? now, the next thing will have to be they'll have to sack him. actually he will do it again . and then you've given again. and then you've given this huge , huge amounts of power this huge, huge amounts of power to people who actually appear on the bbc to decide what the policy of the bbc is . you know, policy of the bbc is. you know, we think , oh, gary's a good guy, we think, oh, gary's a good guy, let's roll walk off air. let's totally screw up our . well, just totally screw up our. well, just on that, neil just on just on that. okay there is a lot of i think when it comes to actually fundamental is the british taxpayer really funds . a lot of taxpayer really funds. a lot of the bbc and pays the staff lineker's wages and that's all

fine and you know i think it does do a good there's no question of that. but then what i thought was fascinating was a situation emerged on saturday which the bbc did a massively stripped back version of match the day it got more viewers so got about 500,000 more viewers. yes undeniably, unquestionably. some of that was due to intrigue. and one would expect those viewership to drop off if they just that every single they just did that every single week. don't it week. but you don't think it will drop off enough to justify the vast cost of match of the day the salaries of lineker, shearer , ian wright, etc. shearer, ian wright, etc. i inadvertently has gary lineker opened up an avenue here where the bbc could look at that and 90, the bbc could look at that and go, oh, actually all you worth all trouble . i think it's a nice all trouble. i think it's a nice idea. patrick don't think it will happen . i think the bbc's will happen. i think the bbc's football coverage is pretty good most of the time and the footage is generally shared or sold around the world anyway , and

around the world anyway, and it's broadcast elsewhere . but it's broadcast elsewhere. but what you do to you cannot get away here from the fact that the bbc by over like this have come pletely capitulated to groups within . the bbc we know that within. the bbc we know that it's a hothouse of won't listen snowflakes why happens when they take a position about another political matter . do the bbc political matter. do the bbc roll over ? what i can tell you roll over? what i can tell you is there is a tremendous amount of coverage on the bbc and elsewhere in which his support is. i've had a tremendous amount air. well, i'll tell you this , air. well, i'll tell you this, my friend in yours, kelvin , my friend in yours, kelvin, tweeted about . against against tweeted about. against against lineker on saturday. he got a half a million hits on that half a million nobody as far as i'm aware invited him on to bbc news

to give the contra position to what alistair was out busily spouting that i got to the second biggest reaction on twitter i have ever had tens and tens of thousands , a massive tens of thousands, a massive reaction almost universally until lineker on the grounds of here his position and i think he's now been allowed to get away with it and i think that it's bad for the bbc they will regret . well it's fascinating regret. well it's fascinating stuff neal thank you very much. as ever. that's neil wallace who's former newspaper editor and media consultant. but look, gary lineker isn't the only bbc presenter in the news for presenter in the news today for very different reasons. it must be, said. fiona bruce has stepped back as an ambassador of domestic abuse charity refuge, following violence. domestic violence. during a discussion johnson discussion about stanley johnson on question time. i think possibly quite some fairly actually. must from actually. it must be from what i've seen. let's go now to i've seen. but let's go now to ali who has got the

ali costello, who has got the latest this. ali, thank latest on this. ali, thank you very much. still outside new broadcasting house voice, the latest bruce, the yes, latest on fiona bruce, the yes, this is all about last an episode of question time. fiona bruce intervened . a guest bruce intervened. a guest described stanley johnson johnson's father, as a wife beater. and they were talking about potentially getting a knighthood . boris johnson's knighthood. boris johnson's resignation list and kind of recent when the guest describes him as a wife beater, she told the viewers, stanley johnson has not commented publicly on that . not commented publicly on that. friends of his said it did , but friends of his said it did, but it was a one off and it was that one off comment that was criticised then by women's charities women's aid, who called unnecessary, they said even if abuse is an isolated event, which it rarely is, it should never be minimised. well bruce has now stepped down as an ambassador for refuge, which is domestic abuse, charity . and domestic abuse, charity. and she's given a statement in the past hours. and she said last,

week on question time, i was required legally contextualise a question about stanley johnson , question about stanley johnson, and those words were taken as an expression of my own opinions, which they absolutely were not, and as minimising of domestic abuse , which i would never do. abuse, which i would never do. she says she faced a social media storm. she said that she mischaracterised and she received personal abuse as well . she says that it's a hard decision, but she decided to step back as her role as ambassador, and she support the charity from the sidelines instead. it's very interesting because last week the bbc backed bruce. they said that she hadn't used her own personal opinion , used her own personal opinion, this context, and she had simply been explaining the legal context to circumstances surrounding that comment . it surrounding that comment. it does raise again, doesn't it, patrick? issue and the complexities about wording and language when it comes to bbc presenters not only on air but also on social media. we've seen it with gary lineker. we're now seeing it with fiona bruce and

although bbc impartiality now going to be the absolute forefront of this independent review, it does just just how difficult that is going to be to maintain impartiality at the bbc . absolutely. ali, thank you very much. ali costello there on national reporter taking epic national reporter taking an epic stand outside new broadcasting house but the longest ever house for but the longest ever penod house for but the longest ever period of industrial action by junior doctors has begun and will last for 72 hours. some members of the british medical association will form lines outside hospitals in protest conditions they say are threatening patients lives. let's cross now to the royal devon and access hospital and speaking to our south—west reporter jeff moody. geoff, what's going on? well, there doesn't seem to be any picket line down here. i'm not quite sure why that is, patrick, but it is actually very quiet. but we are hearing that there are picket lines right across the country largest in country the largest strike in nhs history . as you say, we've nhs history. as you say, we've heard that a lot over last heard that word a lot over last few weeks, haven't we? but this

one large because. one really is large because. junior doctors make up 40% of the nhs medical workforce . now the nhs medical workforce. now on other strike days we've heard that people have stayed away from the nhs deliberately on those days. not so today . those days. not so today. departments across the country been as busy, if not busier even been as busy, if not busier ever, and the sack has been taken up by senior doctors that have been stepping for in junior doctors who are on strike now . doctors who are on strike now. they're looking for a 35% pay rise. that sounds whopping, you may say, but they're saying that they haven't had a pay since 2008 and that they need it backdated to that point because . that's when inflation started to rise and they haven't had a rise in line within flexion. well, sir keir starmer has waded into the row today and said that they need to sit down with the government the government needs to sit down with the british medical association to discuss the way forward. the government says we did ask if we could sit down with the british medical association, but unfortunately

there was a condition attached . there was a condition attached. the government said they would sit down with them as long they called off the strike in advance . and the junior doctors have said, no, this is our key card that we wish play. we're not going to call off the strike in advance. we want have the meetings and the discussions first. so this is getting to become tenser and tenser two day hours of industrial action is planned need it the end of the first day. two more to go . well, first day. two more to go. well, indeed. look thank you very, very much, jeff. jeff moody there is southwest reporter . there is southwest reporter. just a bit of context on that as well. yes we are now nearly a third of the way through the junior doctors strike. i did see some rather interesting articles that apparently some patients care will be as result care will be better as a result of senior doctors in of more senior doctors coming in to patients. to take care of patients. obviously a term obviously that's not a long term solution . course there was solution. course there was a line out which was from the bma which is about if you started working a barista in somewhere like starbucks , costa coffee,

like a starbucks, costa coffee, etc, would more as an etc, you would earn more as an hourly rate than you would starting out a junior doctor starting out as a junior doctor . the argument against that, of course, then course, is that if then progressive's junior doctor, you would become a senior would then become a senior doctor, consultant, doctor, possibly a consultant, etc. you kind of end up earning rather a lot of money you rather a lot of money when you heard those that a 35% pay rise and they want it backdated 2008 because that's one course inflation really began . inflation really began. fascinating stuff. what do you make of that? gb views that gbnews.uk little bit later gbnews.uk and a little bit later actually, going to be actually, we are going to be speaking hopefully to a junior doctor that strike so that doctor about that strike so that we get your views coming . might we get your views coming. might be interesting as well. maybe it puts me your questions to those individual gbviews@gbnews.uk. puts me your questions to those individuewe bviews@gbnews.uk. puts me your questions to those individuewe on ews@gbnews.uk. puts me your questions to those individuewe on the @gbnews.uk. puts me your questions to those individuewe on the brinkews.uk. puts me your questions to those individuewe on the brink ofs.uk. now are we on the brink of another major banking crisis ? another major banking crisis? it's all like, oh, it's stuff here. stock after the here. stock are down after the collapse of an american bank. i am patrick christys. this is .

gb news. okay, welcome back, everybody. now hsbc has bought the uk arm of a silicon valley bank or the silicon, but a private sale involving the government and the bank of england. the uk branch went into insolvency last night after silicon valley's california based parent company had seized by us had its assets seized by us regulators on friday. our economics and business editor liam halligan joins us now with on the money . take it away . i've on the money. take it away. i've been hoping that this story would go away, patrick, because it's basically a story about a bullet that we've dodged silicon bank, a us bank that lots of tech companies use it to stash their cash to . yeah, tech their cash to. yeah, tech companies famously spend a lot of cash early on so—called cash burn and this bank has gone bust . america and its uk subsidiary was rendered insolvent. so the rescue the weekend and the uk subsidiary was bought by hsbc the biggest bank in europe,

westminster abbey. the theme this is forging sustainable this year is forging sustainable and peaceful, common future. we can cross now to westminster abbey. i want julian bond given his role reports that cameron walker cameron , thank you very, walker cameron, thank you very, very joining us. yes. very much forjoining us. yes. okay. it's a reminder , of okay. well, it's a reminder, of course, of the queen's passing , course, of the queen's passing, but stepping in but king charles stepping in ably. what's happened? what's going on? certainly, as patrick have the order of service rights here, my hands, the first commonwealth day service of king charles, the first reign. and of course, he is new new head of the commonwealth. and one man, he was inside the abbey as a guest for the commonwealth day service as is professor chris imafidon, the chairman of education and excellence program , have got that correct. some progress since education programme. chris sir, thanks so much for joining programme. chris sir, thanks so much forjoining me. first of much for joining me. first of all, you've been to a number of these commonwealth day services . the big difference . what was the big difference for you having king charles the third as the new head of the commonwealth, he stepped forward the last time we attended we had

the last time we attended we had the queen's sitting for sitting in and speech in the front role and her speech was in the booklet. but this time the new king stepped forward to the podium, read out his , and directly from his, and it was directly from his, and it was directly from his heart . addressing the twin his heart. addressing the twin issue of global warming or what people will now call sustainability, and then push in the agenda for what? for the youths to be developed. so the highest potential. so let's take one of the points that king charles made, in turn, first of all, sustainability, the environment. there was a big emphasis that wasn't that. absolutely, because remember, the commonwealth has of the commonwealth has a lot of island nations that are seeing the threat they are not hearing about the threat. they are seeing visibly violent , being seeing visibly violent, being overwhelmed by water. so it was a great thing he address that because some countries may no longer exist if the rate at which things are moving in continue in 10 to 15 years. he also about the 56 commonwealth nafions also about the 56 commonwealth nations being united. and of course with the backdrop of the

war in ukraine and tensions across the really an important message perhaps. yes because you if we don't unite and we give a divided message the world will be less peaceful. uni t comes out begets what people call common purpose and that brings peace. and you can see that we can share a lot of things that we have in common that separate us and here. he's really demonstrated that it isn't just a linguistic bond that ties all 56 countries together. there are also cultural as well. and your background is education and the king specifically . 1.5 billion king specifically. 1.5 billion people of in the commonwealth under the age of 30, 60% of all citizens quite staggering figure. so i suppose a challenge for the king is to keep the younger engaged in the commonwealth. indeed, perhaps the monarchy absolute and he already has a template he has the prince's trust, which works with youths and people are disenfranchised from traditional educational system. so if was

ruled out and see that he is a conviction person , he's not conviction person, he's not addressing it. now, he knew was coming and get all his pension money from the army and dump it on the prince's trust. professor chris, thank you so much. speaking to me on the job news. well, of course , is the final well, of course, is the final time actually. we think that members of , royal family, time actually. we think that members of, royal family, senior members of, royal family, senior members of, royal family, senior members of the royal family gather in the abbey before coronation, which is going to be happening just under eight weeks time. there is a big reception for the commonwealth at buckingham palace this evening and buckingham palace is ballroom has been made into a makeshift westminster abbey. so the king and queen consort can rehearse ahead of the big day in just under two months time. fantastic thank you very, very much. come and walk that road reporter now this opens up a big debate for us, okay? because we are going to be debating very shortly about whether or not king charles can keep the commonwealth together. the commonwealth together. the commonwealth the commonwealth has been under the spotlight very, very long spotlight for a very, very long penod spotlight for a very, very long period of time. i know people spotlight for a very, very long peri

horrific to a bygone era horrific ties to a bygone era and british imperialism, etc, etc. a lot of people say, well, hang on a minute, the commonwealth actually loves being together people should being together and people should being together and people should be grateful for it. and if be quite grateful for it. and if anything, australia's joining the a lot of the union did quite a lot of damage. banned damage. the because it banned the freedom of trade etc. between commonwealth nations hampered. going to be hampered. so we're going to be talking about that whether or not the commonwealth should still or go head to still be a thing or go head to head on that very shortly. i'm patrick this is gb patrick christys and this is gb news. i'm jacob rees—mogg, the member for north member of parliament for north east former east somerset and a former government minister. for years i've corridors of i've walked the corridors of power both westminster and power in both westminster and the of london. campaigned the city of london. i campaigned , democratic vote , in the largest democratic vote in story. i know this in ireland story. i know this country has so much to be proud of. we need to have the arguments, the discussions, how we better, wisdom of we make it better, the wisdom of the nation is in its people . vox the nation is in its people. vox populi, day . that's why i'm populi, vox day. that's why i'm joining the people's channel. join me monday and thursday at 8 pm. on gb news, britain's news

channel welcome back. now chris has joined fellow conservative mp caroline nokes in announcing his opposition for the government's illegal migration bill. he said he will not vote for it, which is usually opposition. meet the house of commons is to hold the second reading debate on the new bill today. he's been into bill later today. he's been into the grass and just last the long grass and just last week the secretary suella week the home secretary suella braverman announced the legislation for legislation would allow for the removal from uk removal of migrants from the uk . under the proposals, those attempting to cross the water would be banned from future and blocked applying for blocked from applying for british citizenship . government british citizenship. government said the bill would push the boundary of international law but was needed to solve but that it was needed to solve the crisis and. as we all know, it kicked right off as a result of this the government being accused sorts, very much accused of all sorts, very much accused of all sorts, very much a polarising issue. joined a polarising issue. i'm joined now news political now by gb news political reporter force. he's reporter catherine force. he's going us the latest on going to give us the latest on this now. catherine, as with all things government related

appears not place when appears to have not place when it was supposed to take place. we're waiting for the we're still waiting for the debate second on on debate on second reading on on this away . yes will this bill away. yes it will probably the next hour probably start in the next hour because basically there's now a minister statement on the silicon valley obviously, silicon valley bank. obviously, that's yes. so been that's a huge yes. so been delayed. so it looks like being a long night for mp who will no doubt have a lot to say about bill. now, obviously labour opposed to it, the lib dems, the snp but amongst the conservatives quite a few not happy as well. i mean it certainly will through the commons but some on the right think it doesn't go far enough some like caroline nokes chris skidmore very concerned about what it means for potentially detaining and deporting children or , families. now i understand or, families. now i understand that no unaccompanied children will detained or deported, but lots of concerns there as well. but the really is in a hurry because last week they had the

first reading already that we're on to the second reading. rishi sunakisin on to the second reading. rishi sunak is in a rush to get this through possible by september through possible by september through all stages of course the three readings, the of commons reports committee then to the house of lords where it's going to get apart and he desperately needs to show some results hasn't he. yeah because he's hitched this to , you know, hitched this to, you know, success at the next election. stop the boats and so far the numbers have just been going up and up and up. well, they have been going up. i mean, i suspect sorry. no, but i suspect that if when the next election rolls around, he could at least say we are stopping the boats. we haven't yet. then haven't stopped them yet. then that some kind that will be some kind of electoral of people electoral win. a lot of people are coming out against this not least lineker, course, least gary lineker, of course, but of people in the but a lot of people in the commons are coming out against now is their main issue here. optics and the that it looks optics and the way that it looks in terms it britain look in terms it makes britain look like horrible racist country like a horrible racist country or is it genuinely about fears of morality and potentially headbutting the line towards

international law and breaking it well past ? international law and breaking it well past? it certainly is the optics, but there are real concerns about what means for us because it's all very well saying if you come here illegally , you'll be sent illegally, you'll be sent packing basically to somewhere else, back or wherever. but until you've got these legal, safe routes. you know, we do have a proud of giving asylum to genuine asylum . and at the genuine asylum. and at the moment you're from hong kong or ukraine or afghanistan don't seem to really exist. so it certainly is problematic. but of course, the government's thinking is if they can reduce , thinking is if they can reduce, the pull factor, if it becomes clear to people that if you come here. yeah you won't get booted out , then eventually people will out, then eventually people will stop coming. but of course they thought that with go back a year rwanda , we were going to put rwanda, we were going to put people on planes to rwanda that

would stop people coming. and of course, a single person has nothing is part of this. thank for this. catherine, great to have you on the show, as always and for the for the for the insight and the raw political facts of all of this. catherine our political reporter told just wonder you know, wonder whether or not, you know, the factor thing has the pull factor thing has already removed other already been removed by other countries, isn't say, which is why asylum seekers, refugees are desperate through desperate to come through countries clear. countries and get to was clear. a adviser to a former special adviser to former immigration minister caroline nokes and nokes has come out and said apparently caroline nokes and nokes has comyshe's and said apparently caroline nokes and nokes has comyshe's and inid apparently caroline nokes and nokes has comyshe's and inid appéofitly that she's not in favour of these. very much. these. look thank you very much. we a about that, about we speak a lot about that, about reducing factor reducing this poll factor and the might make as the fact that might make it as terrible as a nation, but is in reality, although the other countries less of countries have got less of a pull, which is why people are desperate us. so if desperate to come to us. so if we the factor, we would we remove the factor, we would literally just be doing what everyone else is doing. i think there some an there is some modicum an argument that saw that, but realistically the only way to claim in the united kingdom is to physically in the united kingdom and the people that want to come here quite often will

have families who are here and will speak the languages. but it's also important notes that we don't take near as many as places like france or germany . places like france or germany. they do take more than us. so i'm not convinced the pull factor is solely just for the united kingdom. i think if people are fleeing for their lives, then they will look to a safe country . it seems as if safe country. it seems as if everybody wants to here, but the data does not actually back that up. just just on that, claire , a up. just just on that, claire, a lot of people now will be shouting at their tv screens going, france is a massive going, well, france is a massive country. germany is a little bigger than you know , i bigger than us. you know, i mean, all right. they mean, we are all right. they take more than us on paper, but per head population, i mean, per head of population, i mean, what figures that . what the figures like on that. yeah we do take an enormous amount but i'm not suggesting that we need to stop taking anybody. i think this is a global problem and if you actually broaden this out and you look to the wider community, then you can come up with a plan that perhaps shares that burden

equally across the rest of the globe . i know that canada do globe. i know that canada do take an awful lot of people from some of syrian camps and will continue to do so. but that as widely publicised think the real problem with the united kingdom is that at the moment it is so incredibly visible with people coming across the channel where is six or seven years ago they were in the back of a lorry, wasn't as visible but was still issue. yeah and it's also the language on this isn't it. now about if think that what's going on in the channel is a bit of an issue and migrant hotels a bit of an issue and the money talks for spending if you just think that's a bit of an issue you are now a pretty much you know a lot of what people think of far right which is bonkers. okay and on the other side of it as well and just give it is due, you and just to give it is due, you know, lots of people know, there are lots of people genuinely the gary lineker genuinely as the gary lineker thing has, there are a lot of people as i can people who, as far as i can gather, really do think borders are a non entity and we

shouldn't have borders and. so you those people of you know those people do of exist carol know someone exist but carol i know someone that rather well is that you know rather well is planning out against planning on coming out against former was former immigration minister was thinking does she thinking here what does she really some would really want because some would argue to join argue maybe she's going to join the labour party if she's not happy with us, you know, well, she's this, you should she's been told this, you should go that i've go join the lib dems that i've told i should go and join told that i should go and join the labour policy. so take the labour policy. so you take from will. i think from what you will. but i think her concern is the poorly her main concern is the poorly put together policy, especially when are looking at when you are looking at vulnerable women and children pregnant women. there are no safeguards in place . you're safeguards in place. you're looking at detaining family groups, unaccompanied minors will not be detained . but also will not be detained. but also where are you going to put them? and that doesn't. then the ultimate issue of where are you sending them back ? because there sending them back? because there are no agreements in place. and as a former immigration , she is as a former immigration, she is more than aware that you need those ingredients in place before you can do anything so. from my conversations with her, that's her main standpoint. the policy is bad. it's been made on

the hoof and shouldn't go through . all right, thank you through. all right, thank you very much, mr. pezzullo, who is a former special adviser to the former immigration minister, caroline nokes. yeah, look, caroline nokes. and yeah, look, when our very own when tom harwood our very own asked sunak to his face if asked rishi sunak to his face if he for the tom was he was up for the tom was talking about up for a fight with the lawyers about echr. is that true? i mean, he well, have to be up for the fight. we have to be up for the fight. we have to up fight. words within to be up the fight. words within his it remains be his own party. it remains to be seen or not government seen whether or not government has the bottle to stand by has got the bottle to stand by his convictions and try to do everything possibly everything that it possibly can to out going on in to sort out what's going on in the if that means the channel if that means ruffling loads feathers. but ruffling loads of feathers. but we're moving on solid moving we're moving on solid and moving north border , followed by north of the border, followed by surprise. members surprise. and some big members have for that new have begun to vote for that new leader. kate forbes humza yousaf and regan are all in and ash regan are all in contention to replace nicola sturgeon result sturgeon. result will be announced the ballot announced after the ballot closes on march 27th. now it's got the inside track on the leadership battle. i joined by michael symmons, who's the data editor at the spectator . editor at the spectator. michael, thank you very much. a choice, seem, lady choice, it would seem, a lady who's christy and views

apparently rendered unable to high office in this country, a who's been rubbish at every job he's ever had someone who he's ever had and someone who isn't household their isn't a household name their own homes. thoughts . yeah so homes. your thoughts. yeah so andifs homes. your thoughts. yeah so and it's certainly not an election of all the talents as you've described there's been all that has been said about kate forbes and nobody knows who ash regan is and humza yousaf has a great track record in government and it's a fascinating see what this is already doing to the party and the wider intimations and movement that we track the independence polls on the spectator of health and its narrative its lowest level since 2018. i it was a gallup poll today as well. it's near rock bottom. so the that nicola sturgeon's gone there's not much love for these new candidates seems to be damaging the. yes it's okay is great this is why i like you michael. you are across quite literally all of the data so it's taken a battering independence which is important for a lot of people massively important i wonder long it important i wonder how long it will for that to recover by

will take for that to recover by the way, and when it comes actually, is favourite actually, who is your favourite to become crowned the next to become be crowned the next first minister of scotland. how is that looking at the minute? so this is slightly difficult question . it depends where you question. it depends where you look. if we look then the bookmakers odds, they still favour humza yousaf to be the next first minister. we could look at polling, at polling of all scots and polling of s&p voters . kate forbes is well into voters. kate forbes is well into the lead, but obviously it's not all voters , all scots that are all voters, all scots that are having a vote in this election. snp party members and in the one poll we have had of snp members, humza yousaf is in the lead and that really is because he is nicola sturgeon's anointed successor, the party machine fully behind him. however a third of voters on that poll so it's not an well this is the way favourite this fascinating and the next question leads me to say this if humza yousaf wins from the data is currently showing at the minute which is that actually whilst he might

the most popular in terms of the snp policy he's not with scottish public. so when we go to a general election, clearly that will an impact. which that will have an impact. which other political party do you think is likely to sweep up from the if people go you know the snp? if people go you know what, i don't like homes that he wouldn't have in pic and i think he's so the logical to that he's now so the logical to that is scottish labour and is probably scottish labour and their leader on a sarwar is quite popular. they're sort of snp voters who are naturally labour voters then wanted independence and moved over to the snp and if they think that the snp and if they think that the independence is now not a likely outcome they could go back to labour. scottish conservatives have risen in the polls slightly . well, so if they polls slightly. well, so if they do go to labour, we've only got a second or two. michael so sorry about this, but if they do go to labour, that could have a massive bearing on. the labour's chances of winning a general couldn't yes it'd be huge. couldn't it. yes it'd be huge. i mean that win them that uk mean that could win them that uk general yeah general election. yeah fascinating stuff michael. thank you. it will not be

you. thank you. it will not be long before we talk again because you absolutely love your analysis. is a who's analysis. michael sam is a who's age right. okay. age editor at the right. okay. so has won his so gary lineker has won his battle with bbc. it will be battle with the bbc. it will be presenting day again presenting much of the day again on in just a few minutes we on and in just a few minutes we will you a brand new will bring you a brand new interview prime interview with our prime minister rishi sunak. you do not want to miss that. what's he been saying? in been saying? he's over in america. sunday i will not america. sunday ago. i will not make un. come san diego make the un. come on san diego to sign off on our orca deals. look, thank you very much. everybody getting in everybody has been getting in touch as well. vaiews@gbnews.uk do think bbc right do you think the bbc was right to reinstate? do you think that gary an apology by? gary lineker was an apology by? the bbc so far a lot of you saying no, but i'll delve into the world of my inbox very shortly. and yes, hopefully in the next hour as well. we are going bring you an update as going to bring you an update as and migration and when that illegal migration bill gets his second reading in the of commons, do you the house of commons, do you think government will think that the government will have backbone have the bottle and the backbone to stand firm or will cave to stand firm or will it cave in, as hearing in, especially as we're hearing there a little of a toy there might be a little of a toy rebellion on this. this is gb news patrick christys don't you

authoritarian at home, more assertive overseas. and in light of that, it's right that we take the steps that are necessary to protect ourselves and to stand for our values. so, for example , recently we blocked investment in a sensitive sector of our economy , semiconductors, and economy, semiconductors, and people should be reassured that we always do what is we will always do what is required safe. so what required to keep safe. so what do say to conservative do you say to conservative members, backbenchers who members, your backbenchers who say need to be tougher, you say you need to be tougher, you need stronger, you need need to be stronger, you need to be vocal it comes to be more vocal when it comes to china? well, i'd say our actions demonstrate that we are doing is necessary safe. it necessary to keep us safe. it would blocking investment sensitive economy , sensitive areas of our economy, semiconductors. we remove surveillance, chinese surveillance, chinese surveillance equipment, sensitive areas. we're passing laws to ensure that there's transparency , accountability of transparency, accountability of money that's being invested into our universities and research . our universities and research. and so those examples of what we're doing to keep ourselves safe and i would also say is that our approach is completely augned that our approach is completely aligned with that of our closest allies. america japan, canada ,

allies. america japan, canada, allies. america japan, canada, all of us are on the same page. and how we think about china , and how we think about china, how we're approaching it. i spoke to prime minister albanese from australia about that last night. i'll be talking to president it later today president about it later today and. i'd say for everyone to know are as know that you are our as a country are all working together. share the same view together. we share the same view and we'll together and let's and we'll act together and let's talk president because talk president biden because you're him later you're going to meet him later on today , aren't you? and you've on today, aren't you? and you've had the winds of free work, it seems that people in washington are now open to trade deal to reopen those talks. are you open to that you're going to suggest , president that maybe , president biden, that maybe you out of the you should take that out of the freezer an ambitious freezer and get an ambitious trade done us trade deal done with the us well, i think it a great well, i think it was a great step for the people of step forward for the people of northern first and foremost for us to be able to conclude windsor framework. believe it windsor framework. i believe it will balance of the will restore. the balance of the belfast trading. now belfast waterway trading. now look with america, america is always been always and has always been a long our closest economic long time our closest economic relationship if a single relationship, if it's a single biggest partner , there are biggest trade partner, there are one and a half million of each , one and a half million of each, us, brits and americans who go to at each companies every

to work at each companies every day sit together in lots of different trade different ways and trade actually america grew last actually with america grew last year by 15% already. now all of thatis year by 15% already. now all of that is happening without a free trade agreement. so there's lots of things that we should want of things that we should do want one. democrats and the one. and the democrats and the republicans apparently republicans now apparently seem open to even pursue that. well, because there's of different things cooperating things that we are cooperating america comes to america on when it comes to economic matters , particularly economic matters, particularly economic matters, particularly economic security. actually, that's big priority of ours right now. it's something we talk about in the integrated is improving our economic security and by working and that will come by working closely with our allies. that's something be talking something that i'll be talking president about later president biden about later today. seem like on today. it doesn't seem like on the table. it's just people should actually that our should actually know that our relationship with america economically is strong, our exports growing anyway, and exports are growing anyway, and we concluding agreements with states. remember, many american states. remember, many american states are as big as both countries and actually increasing our economic ties at a state level is something that can be really good for britain and good for jobs. and can be really good for britain and good forjobs. and so can be really good for britain and good for jobs. and so we're getting on and doing that. let's

talk about immigration. you uncomfortable with of the uncomfortable with some of the language , some within uncomfortable with some of the langiown , some within uncomfortable with some of the langiown party , some within uncomfortable with some of the langiown party when , some within uncomfortable with some of the langiown party when , rcomes ithin uncomfortable with some of the langiown party when , rcomes toin your own party when it comes to immigration, rhetoric used? immigration, the rhetoric used? well, when it comes to well, i think when it comes to this matter, of course, tone matters. always been clear matters. i've always been clear that what what i believe we doing is the right policy , also doing is the right policy, also the moral and compassionate , the moral and compassionate, because at the moment we have a situation where people are being exploited by criminal gangs. people are needlessly dying , people are needlessly dying, which is a tragedy. and we saw that recently off the coast of italy and we have a system where we can't target generosity and our compassion we always have we can't target generosity and our c

situation where the number of people to uk people coming to the uk illegally the past year , illegally over the past year, past two years rather has gone up four that the scale up by four times. that the scale of what we are dealing with, we are spending five and a half million pounds a day on the hotel. don't feel quite like hotel. you don't feel quite like prime of the world prime minister of the world and i don't anyone can look at i don't think anyone can look at that say that is that and say that that is a sustainable situation, especially are especially when people are dying. always been dying. now, we have always been a generous, a compassionate, generous, welcoming country. half a million refugees a ukraine, million refugees from a ukraine, afghanistan, syria, from million refugees from a ukraine, afgha kong|, syria, from million refugees from a ukraine, afgha kong have syria, from million refugees from a ukraine, afgha kong have been a, from million refugees from a ukraine, afgha kong have been welcome to hong kong have been welcome to the over past few years. no the uk over past few years. no one can say that we are not a country, but it's got to be that that done legally, that it's that is done legally, that it's done moment that is done fairly the moment that is not are able not happening and are not able to help world's most to help the world's most vulnerable. that is not a situation that is justifiable. the moral and compassion thing to is break the cycle and. to do is to break the cycle and. that's what policy will do. that's what our policy will do. just finely on the bbc, just very finely on the bbc, there's arguments there's a lot of arguments always be arguments about impartiality the bbc, impartiality here on the bbc, but argument but there is an argument funding the the reason that the bbc. that's the reason that people about impartiality . people care about impartiality. as long you're prime minister as long as you're prime minister there's a total review coming up is licence fee going to be

is the licence fee going to be the way the bbc is funded? well, there's actually a review going on right way fund on about the right way to fund the principle. i want the principle. but i want to hang there's a review that hang on. there's a review that is the options, is examining all the options, the doing that is to the whole about doing that is to go through all the options and figure ensure figure out how can we ensure that which is a rightly that the bbc, which is a rightly treasured national asset, is going be a sustainable going to be in a sustainable position forward, that it position going forward, that it continue to compete with ? media continue to compete with? media companies the world is companies around the world is the we consume all the way that we consume all media changes. the way that we consume all media changes . you as media changes. you know, as those evolve it's right those things evolve it's right that examine the funding that we examine the funding model the bbc to make sure model of the bbc to make sure that it model of the bbc to make sure thatitis model of the bbc to make sure that it is in strongest possible position job we all position to do the job we all want it to do because it is rightly a national institution and want it remain strong, and we want it to remain strong, not but for years not just today but for years into future. prime into the future. okay, prime minister, very much minister, thank thanks very much . well, there we go. that . and well, there we go. that was up. let's go to i think we can all agree has got one of the best jobs in the world travelling all over the globe. and he was in rishi sunak offers a wide ranging group of things, including of course the bbc on on the bbc had on house. the bbc have had a rather embarrassing day again.

they've apologised after the dispute his tweets about dispute over his tweets about the government's migration policy. understands that policy. gb news understands that a number of bbc sport staff are unhappy with the corporation's director—general, tim davie, bbc sports is based salford and employees are angry that . davie employees are angry that. davie is anyway not the is apparently anyway not in the northwest today lineker northwest. today lineker will present match of the day this saturday after missing the show over the weekend his controversial about controversial tweets about suella braverman where he compared language that compared her language to that used led to a row used in germany led to a row over bbc impartiality . many of over bbc impartiality. many of lineker's colleagues refused to appear on football shows on bbc television and radio to show solidarity with the presenter and in fact , people were and in fact, people were terrified of agreeing to cover for him in case they were called either a scab or a. but the bbc now conduct a review of its social policy, davie social media policy, and davie says lineker will abide by says that lineker will abide by the editorial guidelines until that complete. bbc's that is complete. the bbc's director of sport, barbara slater, is holding meetings with staff . let's go to our staff today. let's go now to our national reporter costello for the live from the the latest live from the broadcasting house. ali take it

away . hi patrick. yes, gary away. hi patrick. yes, gary lineker is off the bench and he will be back presenting match of the day this weekend. a deal was between himself and bbc. this statement from director general tim davie this morning. he apologised for the difficult penod apologised for the difficult period for staff of presenters and for audiences . and he and for audiences. and he announced as well that the bbc is going to launch an independent review into its social media guidelines with a focus on freelance who don't work in news and current affairs. that is of course , gary affairs. that is of course, gary lineker. he also appreciated and recognised the fact that there are grey areas in that social media policy that do need addressing he said that for the meantime gary is going to abide by the current social media guidelines . whilst that guidelines. whilst that independent review takes place. but having that within minutes of that news breaking that that deal had been reached between gary lineker and the bbc, gary lineker was back his twitter

page tweeting , a thread in which page tweeting, a thread in which he thanked his bbc sports colleagues for their solid charities that he is proud to for a fair broadcaster. but then he went on to share what he described as a final thought . described as a final thought. and this is the tweet. it says, however difficult past few days have been, it simply doesn't compare to having to flee home from persecution or war, to seek refuge in a land far away. it's heartwarming to see the empathy towards their plight. so many of you we a country of predominantly tolerant, welcoming and generous . thank welcoming and generous. thank you so it's very interesting, patrick. there's almost instantly after that news broke this morning, gary lineker took opportunity to double down on that. those comments that made last tuesday that snowball into this row in which he was taken off air and bbc impartiality he was called into question also questions too about freedom of expression and freedom of speech. but he made it clear he stands by those comments . so,

stands by those comments. so, yes, perhaps there will be changes ahead for bbc freelancer , especially if they're not working in. news and current affairs. gary will be back presenting match of the day on and at least seems he is going to continue keep tweeting what he likes . well, ali, thank you he likes. well, ali, thank you very, very much. now, i've just had an email in from jackie who says, please, will you let ali go home now? it started to get dark and cold. she's been outside the bbc all day. so i think, can consider herself think, ali, can consider herself released now back home right. now, is, released now back home right. now, is, of now, as you know, gb news is, of course, channel. and course, people's channel. and this be nothing this show would be nothing without lot so without you lot at home. so joining me is gb news viewers. bnan joining me is gb news viewers. brian from solihull and dan bnan brian from solihull and dan brian from solihull and dan brian from beverley. fantastic now, brian, i want to talk to you about this because the government and stuff has rumbled on. it's been an absolute lesson in how not handle something from the bbc, but people are saying that essentially government has basically with it . what basically got away with it. what what's your views on this whole saga ? i don't think it saga saga? i don't think it total patrick that he's got away

this and got away with what expressed his view . you can expressed his view. you can disagree with the view but if we're a country that that that doesn't want freedom of expression , then i think that we expression, then i think that we should say that because there's sense. brian, can i can i ask you just does that change when you just does that change when you sign a contract somewhere? so this is kind of where i'm out with it, which is completely all for freedom of speech . i've got for freedom of speech. i've got nothing. i vehemently with gary lineker and said i've got no problem with the fact that he said it. unless, of course we as taxpayers pay him £1.35 million a year and a condition of that is that he signs a contract to say you can't tweet stuff like that. i mean, if he's broken that. i mean, if he's broken that contract, then that is an issue. is no, issue. brian, is it? no no, i with you, patrick, and i think you've summed up well, i agree with you in terms of if you disagree with gary's view . disagree with gary's view. you're know in terms you're entitled to know in terms of contractual situation . of the contractual situation. you're to you're perfectly entitled to that as well. what i would suggest to you that perhaps that isn't the because that was

isn't the because if that was the case, then he wouldn't be working for the bbc the saturday. so i think i think it's i think it's the grey area that which tim davie has acknowledged in the statement today which obviously needs to be aligned or realigned if you like, and that's not really the fundamental which i agree with you entirely . fundamental which i agree with you entirely. i think i think gary lineker , for me, people can gary lineker, for me, people can understand which between gary lineker and presenting match of the day highlights . so bbc from the day highlights. so bbc from gary lineker alison expressing the person the view about a political subject wasn't you edwards or it wasn't. laura kuenssberg was tweeting that came down i'll bring you in now dan brian there from beverley. now what's your take on this? the latest development that essentially gary lineker has been of a sorry. been given a bit of a sorry. well, rebecca normal job presumably alongside everyone else off in solidarity else he walked off in solidarity with and the bbc as with him and the bbc as understand it is going to try to clear that grey just your clear that grey area just your take the overall situation . down

take the overall situation. down i think the more we allow these people to speak, the more reveal themselves to be the absolute hypocrites that they are . and i hypocrites that they are. and i mean to work in television . as mean to work in television. as as you probably have explained in star trek. you know, you have to have a certain of spinal or muscle faces than a town clock. you know, the people that you have to work with and you have to kiss along to get with these people they sway with the wind and their opinions contradict themselves as they get as they go further on. but the thing is, we have record of this because. they say one thing, two or three years earlier and then they contradict themselves as they ask their opinion . so as long as ask their opinion. so as long as we can see that as viewers , then we can see that as viewers, then we can see that as viewers, then we can see that as viewers, then we can make our own decision on whether to watch them or not. yeah, dan, i mean, the fascinating no. one ever no one ever leaves the bbc to go and pursue a career as a centre right broadcaster. do that. so we kind of all already knew

where the v on the law stuff. okay. for i think we've done a before go back to prior to this do you find it quite laughable how decided make how people have decided to make such stand on this. such a big stand on this. no, i don't know about . but do you don't know about. but do you think alan shearer has a deep moral conviction about what's going on in the channel? i would be surprised. i help but be quite surprised. i help but wonder whether or not he thought, gary lineker thought, well, if gary lineker 9°, thought, well, if gary lineker go, who's a that might also be go, who's a that i might also be out of a and people might out of a job and people might realise maybe we can put realise that maybe we can put together some kind of new dream team. what what do think team. what what do you think about dan, don't about all of that, dan, don't forget, dealing people forget, we're dealing people whose are in their feet. whose brains are in their feet. that's where talent lies that's where their talent lies and about so they tend to and that's about so they tend to stick together when . it's a bit stick together when. it's a bit like in the schoolyard, you the one person says one thing and they all go, yeah. so it's that kind of mentality that we're seeing. and also, don't forget , seeing. and also, don't forget, where was gary lineker when government was implementing dictatorship kind of measures dunng dictatorship kind of measures during covid? he was he was

backing it all. so they were not done, apparently, but he disagrees with their immigration policy. and now . so really he's policy. and now. so really he's a hypocrite . know brian brainer. a hypocrite. know brian brainer. i'll bring our kids in. i am reliably informed brian that you have been involved loosely speaking with the football industry in the past. that is that right? i am. i am i. all along the right lines that brian lets us. yeah. so are you in communication as well, for example. so what did you make really of the way that some clubs decided to supposedly go into bat for , gary? so we will into bat for, gary? so we will not be doing any interviews as a result of this. do you think that was more damage limitation from them? just not wanting to have to comment on the have to pass comment on the migrant or do you think migrant crisis or do you think it genuine solidarity with it was genuine solidarity with old comrade lineker ? yeah, well, old comrade lineker? yeah, well, i'm not so sure that he's come round lineker and downs while is probably entitled to express a view . well, to suggest that gary

view. well, to suggest that gary lineker is in his boots is absolute and utter nonsense and absolute and utter nonsense and a sanctimonious twaddle at its very height as well he's a very intelligent as it as it happens he took over from deadline presenting match of the day desmond lane is regarded as one of the pivotal figures in sports journalism and gary lineker for more than 20 years has made the job his own. so to say that brains are in his feet, i, i think you might want to maybe have a wee rethink a little bit. i'll go to this in terms of solidarity. in terms of solidarity. in terms of solidarity , which is a question solidarity, which is a question you put to is it absolutely genuine and genuine? not only his immediate colleagues in terms of pundits you referred to alan shearer and ian wright, but it was throughout the business it was throughout the business it was throughout the business it was the commentators who also and this is where the bbc got it. so blatantly wrong in terms

of they didn't realise that people work as a team and people not who have the same on everything, but people who understand the freedom of expression is either a cornerstone of denmark c in this country or it is not. and they stood with the person who decided that he was going to make a stand on this particular issue. and the football clubs didn't , not through a. and didn't, not through a. and anyone having similar politics, but holding to that corner you think it was a free of freedom of speech saying yeah i'm was okay all right i'd just brian just before i go about something just before i go about something just on this and just and quite quickly the fact is he was simply and good saying the guardian encourages intelligent undoubtedly is undoubtedly gary lineker is a very intelligent guy no very intelligent guy there's no doubt and he is a doubt about that. and he is a very good presenter. okay. the thing i'll go to in a minute, danielle, say. the danielle, if you say. but the thing i would argue about this is, viewing went up is, that viewing figures went up by million when he no by half a million when he and no other presenter there.

other presenter was there. and as i'm aware as well as far as i'm aware as well there wasn't particularly there wasn't even particularly much commentary so. rg is much commentary mean so. rg is it quite on to justify the fact that bbc have now decided to that the bbc have now decided to apologise the more apologise and reinstate the more broad not right. broad well? clearly not right. the decision and the bbc made that decision and think you'll find that there was a lot of people rubbernecking on saturday to how it how saturday night to see how it how it looked without pundits it looked without the pundits and presenters there it was and the presenters there it was and the presenters there it was a bit of a novelty for some people will have that that people they will have that that on saturday night and said yeah that wasn't bad but that wouldn't be the way forward. and the wouldn't its the bbc wouldn't have its broadcast rights from the premier league if that was okay forward donna, i'll throw it back to you. what the bbc have to them because one you i'll confirm wanted by essentially a strike lot people a lot of strike by a lot people a lot of big names right across the board pretty much i mean what should the bbc have done because in the defence of tim davie , i mean he defence of tim davie, i mean he couldn't sack him could it couldn't sack him all, could it ? well, i don't think anybody should lose their job having an should lose theirjob having an opinion. it's that's exactly it. if we live in your other was

saying the cornerstone of society is free speech and democracy then you shouldn't lose your job over , your opinion lose your job over, your opinion . however, the bbc is struggling at the minute because they're trying to appear be impartial when of course everybody knows they're not so they have to appear to be doing something about it. and i think that's what the lip service says with the statement that was released today and brian, you're right, i i've never met gary lineker. today and brian, you're right, i i've never met gary lineker . my i've never met gary lineker. my opinion is based entirely on what he says both on twitter and when i see him on television . when i see him on television. and from that i have deduced that it isn't as bright as what you think he is because of the rank hypocrisy being able to hold two opposing views in your head at the same time he's quite is quite culpable when you see

it . okay look both of you thank it. okay look both of you thank you very much. i think we're going to we're sorry. sorry, lads. we're going to have to leave it that. we are going to have to leave it there. yes. yes i love you both. back on i will love you both. back on very soon. thank you very much. i can't write that. was giving his take it from his views brian take it from sally dunn from sally helen dunn brian from beverley think it's fair beverley hills i think it's fair to will not friends going to say will not be friends going forward but you'll have to say it now. so junior doctors have gone day strike. i'm gone on three day strike. i'm going to one them very, going to ask one of them very, very not going to very soon you're not going to want to rg some interesting want to miss rg some interesting questions junior

gb news, right? welcome back , everybody. right? welcome back, everybody. now today marks the start of the longest ever period of industrial taken by junior doctors and last for 72 hours. members of the british medical association will form picket lines outside hospitals in protest over conditions they say are threatening patients lives.

let's now speak with nhs junior doctor it's dr. vivek . thank you doctor it's dr. vivek. thank you very much dr. vivek okay, so how does walking out help patients lives . well out is just a tool lives. well out is just a tool that we've been forced to use. have our voice heard with with the government? we've been crying about crying out about our pay and how it's been eroded by more than 26% over the last 15 years. and the on effects that's been having it makes doctors feel under . and that's doctors feel under. and that's doctors feel under. and that's doctors away. whether they're leaving the country altogether or , leaving the nhs into things or, leaving the nhs into things like business, digital tech, financial tech. we're yeah . not financial tech. we're yeah. not able to retain the highest skilled professionals. we need to be able deliver a good quality care for the patients if knew that the pay was so bad, why did you decide to go into that line of work? yeah we hear that line of work? yeah we hear that often actually, and it's

something that's happened overnight . but this has been overnight. but this has been a gradual build and a gradual not quite. so we just talked about. that's why that's why i'm a bit confused is because you said it's been going on for 26 years or whatever. it's been eroded. you look quite young in junior doctor. yeah so don't doctor. yeah so i just don't understand why knowing all of that, you would try to go that, why you would try to go into if you knew that into something if you knew that the pay was so awful. so, so the pace got worse as things have gone and, you know, we gone on. and, you know, we things that we see how that things how that we see how that manifests we see the poorest of care that that that leads to anyone who's been working in the nhs for more than one year, nhs even for more than one year, who's , who's able to who's been, who's been able to see a change, has been able to see a change, has been able to see change in the way that the see a change in the way that the morale within staff and how that leads poorest areas of care. so the waiting list that patients have to wait on for elective procedures or appointments now exceeds 7 million. that's 7 million people in the uk who might be able to work. we might be able to walk around, you

might , not be be able to walk around, you might, not be able to live be able to walk around, you might , not be able to live life might, not be able to live life to the fullest ability because we're not able do the care that we're not able do the care that we need to . and ultimately we need to. and ultimately because got a huge because we've got a huge workforce crisis so is that there's between eight and 9000 thousand doctor in the hospital and the gmc which is the regulator body that overlooks doctors expects there to be 16,000 more vacancies by 2030. so we need to do something to stop this from happening and the crisis of patient care in. your view goes away. if we start paying view goes away. if we start paying doctors more , what you on paying doctors more, what you on at the minute so i'm a doctor i've been working for seven years i'm on £24 an hour i'm an anaesthetic where i work in anaesthetics and intensive care so i look after critically unwell patients when they come through the door having to put tubes into their mouths to help them breathe for them and look after them whilst . they're on after them whilst. they're on organ support. this is you know, it's cruel. and these are the people that are the sickest of the sickest in the hospital. and

it's just not commensurate with the level of workload that we go underground. what do you what do you want to be paid that . so all you want to be paid that. so all we're asking for is our pay cut that we've had over the last 15 years to be reversed . and what years to be reversed. and what that looks like is, is a new doctor who's starting with £100,000 of debt going to university 5 to 6 years, who's on £14 an hour. we want them to be paid £19 an hour. and at the very senior end, doctors, you've been working ten years or so who are currently paid £28 an hour. we want them to be paid £38 an houn we want them to be paid £38 an hour. now that's not that's not a tall ask the government that will cost them roughly £1,000,000,000. and we know they spend far more than that for unusable phone. i got that . they unusable phone. i got that. they got just considering i only just just got to put this you because you keep talking about pay cuts and things and the nhs as a whole has a real terms 39%

funding uplift real since 2010. is it all very well and good directing anger in at the government which affects patient health but maybe just maybe you'd be better looking within the nhs at some of your and saying where are you spending of this money? could we be less wasteful and actually could you actually manage the nhs better or not willing to do or you're not willing to do that, you're just going to plough ahead and we need plough ahead and say, we need need pay rise that so need to pay rise and that so everything out so there's a couple of things going on i'm sure where that is coming sure where that number is coming from. love to see myself, from. i'd love to see myself, but know, where it suits, but you know, where it suits, where they're why they're where why they're why they're unhappy and why they're wanting to leave the nhs. the number one reason is pay . we at the bma reason is pay. we at the bma undertook survey just before christmas in which you know, alarmingly but not actually surprisingly there was 40% of respondents were ready to leave the nhs and we're going do so

when they found any job. more than two thirds were actually thinking about the nhs. if you, if you stay in, if you , if you if you stay in, if you, if you staying in your current and you work your way up right. this is the argument against isn't it. which is all very well and good saying that do an incredibly difficult job and you do there's no doubt about that. absolutely no. but if stick around doing what you're now can end up what you're doing now can end up on very good with that, to be honest with you. but back a cracking pension, a pension that a lot of people in the private sector for. and sector would kill for. okay. and so is that not part and parcel of professional life starting on a low down salary or a a very low down salary or a lower salary and having to put a lot of hard graft in and then working your way up to being on a salary? no it's not a good salary? yeah. no it's not what does not what what it does not know what you're just doing. well there's a couple of things about that. one that the nhs one is that actually the nhs pension, what it used to be. so it's helpful, but it's not. it used to be. but the main thing actually not a free to actually is it's not a free to become a consultant or a gp. it

takes a lot of work and you have to have specific exams which we have to fund ourselves and. not everyone gets there. people don't always progress and some people burn out and drop out. so the prospects of something , the the prospects of something, the field sacrificing something now for the prospect of something in the future isn't a strong argument . and then if we think argument. and then if we think about a consultant actually makes there are you know about £44 an hour or so these are doctors, you know, i mean , i doctors, you know, i mean, i know this is about as an average of 120 grand a year. right. which just are a lot more impressive than the figures because i've just done well, it's not at all because we had the figures earlier on. so i mean, it's that's that's that's what we when we were what it and we are when we were discussing about the potential consultant strike that what consultant strike that was what we about last we were discussing about last week. that is quite week. but yes that is quite a lot of money for people i think. is so should a new consulting is it so should a new consulting earns around £88,000 and that's after, you know, more than around years or so of full

around ten years or so of full time, which in the nhs is more than full time for the rest of the country because we do on average 48 hours a week. like i mentioned, exams you have mentioned, exams which you have to ourselves . you know to fund ourselves. but you know it's gruelling rigorous it's a gruelling and rigorous training wouldn't training process. you wouldn't want any tom dick and harry to be a consultant you want the best of the best and so that if we want the best the best, we want the best of the best, then need to them like then we need to pay them like best best. otherwise best of the best. otherwise they're to leave. and that they're going to leave. and that that crux of the issue. that is the crux of the issue. okay. let's talk about some very, very much and enjoy the back forth lots activity back and forth lots of activity that nhs doctor. right. that is an nhs doctor. right. okay. like the never, we are okay. but like the never, we are going now. so get going to go over now. so you get your latest headlines from the wonderful polly middlehurst. we've coming your we've got loads more coming your way just over to way but we'll just rush over to the now. i think . the headlines now. i think. patrick, thank you very much indeed.the patrick, thank you very much indeed. the top story today, three people have been taken to hospital. a suspected gas explosion in south wales with one person unaccounted for. emergency services are at the scene after being called to the

the world as the way we consume all media changes , you know, as all media changes, you know, as those things evolve. it's right that examine the funding that we examine the funding model bbc sure model of the bbc to make sure that it model of the bbc to make sure thatitis model of the bbc to make sure that it is in the strongest position do the job that we position to do the job that we all do, because it is all it to do, because it is rightly a national institution and it to remain strong, and we want it to remain strong, not but for years not just today, but for years into the future. and when she said, i was speaking in san diego, he pledged £5 diego, where he pledged £5 billion two to the billion over two years to the armed forces , the prime minister armed forces, the prime minister met his australian met with his australian counterpart anthony albanese ahead of unveiling a major new orca's defence pact between the uk. the united states and australia . plans to be announced australia. plans to be announced with the us joe biden include supplying nuclear powered subs to austria earlier. and as you've been hearing , junior you've been hearing, junior doctors have staged their first of three days of industrial action as they mount picket lines outside hospitals. the british medical says staff in england have suffered a 26% real terms cut to their pay since 2008. the union says newly

qualified medics earned over £14 an hour, saying it's less than some barristers in coffee shops . that's all for me. i'm back at the top of the hour. see that . the top of the hour. see that. a welcome back. now, argentina has been accused of placing the falkland islands in an economic stranglehold after ripped off a key cooperation agreement and demanded fresh talks on the islands sovereignty. now it, as ireland is, mark the 10th anniversary of a referendum vote to remain british crucially rather a long time after we went to war there. i'm a security officer. mark wines has more across the falklands. there marking a decade since voted by a staggering . 9.8% to remain a staggering. 9.8% to remain british. although by

international observers, the results that referendum have never recognised by the argentine union government. seven years ago, as i london effectively to disagree over island's sovereignty and signed up to a pact at improving economic environmental and social relations. but this week all that ended as the argentineans ripped up the agreement and demanded talks over the future of the falklands. we're always disappointed with the reaction from argentina , but we're not a from argentina, but we're not a total surprise it's something that we we've come to live with and we understand them very very clearly . when the economy and clearly. when the economy and when the political situation in argentina gets tough , then we argentina gets tough, then we are the sort of whipping boys from their point of view. the argentine economy is in meltdown

. critics of the government in buenos aries accuse it of reigniting the row over falklands sovereignty to distract from its domestic troubles . on a practical level, troubles. on a practical level, any withdrawal from the cooperation agreement will hurt the island's . it has impacted of the island's. it has impacted of the island's. it has impacted of the falklands because the we can't share fisheries data with argentina because of the migration of the fish stock in the ocean. we've lost a flight to sao paolo which our second link to south america and also the agreement benefit of argentina because it helped identify the water from the war. so i don't really think anyone is comes out better for the and coming to an end . with more than coming to an end. with more than a third in british military personnel all typhoon fighters and a royal navy presence . the and a royal navy presence. the falklands is far better defended now than before war in 82. no one here believes argentina has the slightest interest or indeed

capability to threaten the island's military. but for the time being, at least, it seems determined to. ramp up the diplomatic and economic pressure . despite the expressed wish of this island community, mark white gb news. yes, well, that we go right now is being reported and i got afghan migrant i'll start again who was deported from the uk earlier serving half his time prison for raping an underage girl trying to claim asylum back again the uk. he says the government's illegal migration bill will deter him. it is quite a shocking story to say the least. now we'll have it all right here on gbnews.uk

okay, let's jasmine in just a matter of seconds, we're going to take you live the house of

commons, where i believe that suella braverman is about to make a statement in relation to the illegal migration bill and that discussing second that discussing it second reading we speak, i'm going reading as we speak, i'm going to go now priority . it's why the to go now priority. it's why the prime minister made stopping the boats one of his five promises to the british and it's why according to the opinion polls the british people back this failed . they back this failed. they back this government's bill by more than 2 to 1. this does mean mr. speaken to 1. this does mean mr. speaker, as some assert that the british people are xenophobic . british people are xenophobic. since 2015 the british people have provided refuge . to nearly have provided refuge. to nearly half a million people through global , safe half a million people through global, safe and legal routes , global, safe and legal routes, and the british people are fair. compass honest and generous . compass honest and generous. millions millions of legal,

including my parents, have expelled inside this warm first hand. but the british people also realistic . they know that also realistic. they know that our capacity to help people is not unlimited . since 2018, some not unlimited. since 2018, some 85,000 people take your state for a given. where does think the british public want to see pregnant women and children detained immigration centres? detained in immigration centres? i do not believe for minute that they but as we said in this they do, but as we said in this bill, the british people want to see people. they want to stop people dying on the channel that's what this is about. it's naive , suggest that it's lawful naive, suggest that it's lawful and appropriate to make this journey . people are dying and we journey. people are dying and we need to stop it here. since 2018, some 85,000 people illegally entered the kingdom by

small boat , 45,000 of them last small boat, 45,000 of them last year alone. they have over our asylum system , local authorities asylum system, local authorities simply do not have the or the pubuc simply do not have the or the public service to support everyone. the british taxpayer . everyone. the british taxpayer. to the lady, i thank home secretary for giving away a chunk of migrant . i thank the chunk of migrant. i thank the home secretary for way so early in her speech . has she home secretary for way so early in her speech. has she is home secretary for way so early in her speech . has she is she in her speech. has she is she satisfied that there is enough provision for vulnerable children in the proposals that she's forward tonight in some detail. but yes vulnerable people will be receiving appropriate safeguarding welfare support . the british taxpayer support. the british taxpayer cannot to fork out £6 million a day on hotel to house illegal arrivals . now let us be honest.

arrivals. now let us be honest. the vast majority of arrivals, 74% in 2021 were adult males under the age of 40. the majority were not pregnant women. the vast majority were not young children . all not young children. all travelled through safe like france, in which could and should have first claimed asylum . many, many came directly from safe countries , like albania and safe countries, like albania and there. and when we try to remove them, they out generous asylum laws against us to thwart criminals . this right to my criminals. this right to my right honourable friend. forgive me. why does she agree that when 70 labour mps, including the leader of the opposition, signed a letter for the release of dangerous foreign criminals who we want to remove from the uk, they expose themselves as pro open borders , unlimited

open borders, unlimited immigration and themselves on the side of the criminal rather than the side of my honourable friend puts it very well what we have here is naive do gooders who would rather campaign to prevent the removal of a foreign national offender , one of whom national offender, one of whom went on to tragically kill another then vote in favour of our measures that would have toughened the sanctions on foreign national offenders. i'm going to make some progress. the reality is , mr. deputy speaker , reality is, mr. deputy speaker, is that the system is simply unfair. it's unfair on the most vulnerable . it's unfair on those vulnerable. it's unfair on those who play the rules. it's unfair on the british people . so we on the british people. so we must change the law and must stop the boats . now, mr. stop the boats. now, mr. speaken stop the boats. now, mr. speaker, for too long, those of us voicing concern about the effects of uncontrolled , bold, effects of uncontrolled, bold, unprecedented and illegal migration have been accused of inflammatory rhetoric , but inflammatory rhetoric, but

nothing . nothing is more likely nothing. nothing is more likely to inflame tensions than ignonng to inflame tensions than ignoring the public's reasonable concern about the current situation. the public are neither stupid nor bigoted . they neither stupid nor bigoted. they can see first hand the impact on their communities. it's irresponsible to suggest otherwise and. speaking of acting responsibly , mr. speaker, acting responsibly, mr. speaker, i want to put on the record give with its perfectly respectable for a child of immigrants like to say that i'm deeply grateful to say that i'm deeply grateful to live here to say that immigration has been overwhelmingly good for the united kingdom. but that we've had too much of it in recent years . and to say and to say and years. and to say and to say and to say that uncontrolled and illegal migration is simply bad for . my that illegal migration is simply bad

for. my that i'm illegal migration is simply bad for . my that i'm grateful to my for. my that i'm grateful to my right honourable friend does she agree with me that in the last couple of years where we've seen exponential growth in this human trafficking coming across the channel that actually what's happening is the money that people who can ill afford to spend on criminals is being to make their trade even more effective putting more lives in danger. effective putting more lives in danger . i effective putting more lives in danger. i mean is my right or my friend puts it very well. we have now a sophisticated well—resourced multibillion pound trade of illegal people smuggling and human trafficking . it is costly and it needs to stop . so but say that the i'm stop. so but say that the i'm going to make progress. it and yet mr. speaker, like despite reasonable concern that we have raised on several like my watch my friend the member witham before me i am subject to the most grotesque slurs for saying

such truths about the impact of unlimited and illegal migrants in the west among , them poisoned in the west among, them poisoned by the extreme ideology of identity politics suggests that a person's skin colour should dictate their political . mr. i dictate their political. mr. i will not be hectored by out—of—touch lefties or anyone anyone. out—of—touch lefties or anyone anyone . i won't be patronised . i anyone. i won't be patronised. i won't be patronised on what a pro—free views for someone of my background can hold and i will not down when faced spurious accusations , bigotry . mr. deputy accusations, bigotry. mr. deputy speaken accusations, bigotry. mr. deputy speaker. anyway, when such smears seep into the discourse of this chamber as did last week, accusations is that this government's policies, policies backed by the majority of the british people, are bigoted ,

british people, are bigoted, bigoted , xenophobic, or a dog bigoted, xenophobic, or a dog whistles to racists. it is eric's and frankly , the dignity eric's and frankly, the dignity of place that politicians of all stripes should know better and they should choose their words carefully . mr. deputy speaker , carefully. mr. deputy speaker, thatis carefully. mr. deputy speaker, that is the course, that criticism to this bill in moral terms , ignores certain truths . terms, ignores certain truths. firstly, they ignore that we have a moral duty to the boats and people are dying in channels through which they taking journeys that unsafe and unnecessary and unlawful point of order . okay. well, that was of order. okay. well, that was solid that who is pulling up saluting no punches in the house of commons as a result of this illegal migration bill and second reading, she said quite categorically she will not be lectured by out of touch lefties , someone who definitely isn't

an outside leftie is rather ironically on my left at the minute it's michelle dewberry coming on my shoulder with chips and wow. i've got and shout, wow. well, i've got to i wondered she might to say, i wondered she might approach today . it's been a lot approach today. it's been a lot of criticism about language let me that was lineker's me get that that was lineker's point, the language point, wasn't it. the language that used. so thought, that was used. so i thought, i wonder if she'll tread carefully in on the side of caution in my ear on the side of caution but judging literally just in those last few minutes alone as well. no she's got a sakho does on that wasn't she i mean fair play on that wasn't she i mean fair play so she stands up says a lot that could be misinterpreted but yes she absolutely not yes she is absolutely not messing around she's doubling down believes what she down she believes what she thinks she's not giving thinks and she's not giving anyone, it would seem, trying dissuade her. well, you know what, by the way, it's about time we had some politicians with some robust whether you agree with them on, it is kind of neither nor there. it's of neither here nor there. it's so floating around so much floating around politics, it? yeah, it politics, hasn't it? yeah, it does. politics, hasn't it? yeah, it does . look, if like what you does. look, if you like what you hear that no doubt, there'll be more of that coming your way in the houn more of that coming your way in the hour. michelle dewberry the next hour. michelle dewberry dewbs& much,

dewbs& co. thank you very much, everybody. again everybody. i'll be back again tomorrow at 3 pm. he's out.

dewbs& co now talk about going from o to 100. junior doctors are in disputes with the government over what else pay and what are they asking for ? and what are they asking for? just a mere 55% pay rise and twice the government's arm. they've gone on strike. get this for three days. they're out of the cancer wars, out of maternity units and out of accident and emergency. should it be allowed? i've got a sneaking suspicion tonight that our guest will definitely disagree on that. and ever since brexit, britain is on the hunt for trade deals. but at what cost? well, the trade minister for the united arab emirates says if you want to trade with

us,
